handle is hein.gao/gaobaawfg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 04C38 B3529 a (The Status of Urban Post Offices in the Nation's Five Largest CitiesI. GGD-78-7; B-114874. October 21, 1977. 1 pp. * 2 euclosures (11 .pp.). Repcrt to Sen. Charles H. Percy; by Victor I. love,-Virector, General Government Div. Issue Area: Facilities and Material Management: Buildinj, Buyinq, or Leasing Fedural Facilities aad lquipment (706) Ccrktact: General Government Div. 5udqet Function: Commerce and Tranipcrtation: Postal Service (402) 4 General Government: Other Gener.l Gc¢ezae nt (806). Orqanizatircn Concerned: Postal Service. Ccnqressional Relevance: Sen. Chsrles B. Percy. A review was conducted of the recrganizaticn, closure, and transfer of 'urban post offices tc the suburbs and the effect sucn actions nave on the general profile of urtan axeas. Information was also cbtained on the Ecutal Servicits proposed relocation of the Chicago South Suburban Secticnal Center Facility to the Village of Forost Park. Findings/Concluicns: Transfers of postal operations from the Nation's f- l largest cities to the suburbs have not been extensive. The ,-.,.-,tal functions trasterred primarily involved tulk mail .,iratias. The nualter of employment pcsitions eliminated in the five cities as a result of these moves was about 7,342. Service officials maintained that no employeex: lost their jots as a result of relocations to the suburbs. The Service generally did not have records showinq the cost savings resulting from these moves. Durinq the period from June 1973 to Se~tenbe: 1977, total postal employment in the five cities declined from 106,517 to 63,960 or about 21.2%; possible reasons for the decline include mechanization and declininq mail volumes. Except for New York City, Service ofticials expect employment levels to the five largest cities to remain fairly stale for the fozesseable future. It appears unlikely that the South Suburban facility will be moved to Forest Park because of opposition by city officials, postal unions, and p'ostal employees. From an economic standpoint, the decision tc relocate the facility to Forest Park appeared justified. (SW)
