Recent Poscal Service mail processing changes in
eastert Connecticut were evaluated to detirmine how each change
affected or will affect the cost of providing mail service#
level of service to postal patrons, and employ-e at the
locations involved. The Postal Service processes for planning
such cbanges were examined to determine whether they were
reasonable. Findings/Conclusions: In February 1977, the
Villiamantic Sectional Center Facility's outgoing mail
processing was transferred to the New London Sqctional Center
Facility. This move was intended to be temporary prior to
permanent relocation. Milliamantic's mail delivery performance
levels did not change during the consolidation period in I
London, and the Postal Servict will realize savings of about
$58,OOC or 60% of the amount it expected to save. The impact of
the consolidation on Williamanticts employees was minimal. Oa
November 5. 1977, lilliamantic's outgoing mail processing waz
relocated to Hartford, and few London's outgoing mail processing
was transferrAd to New Haven. Relocating Williamantici4
proc -sing to Hartford should result in additional annual
savings of about $33,400 and should not result in any
deterioration in mail service. The consolidation from New Lon4ou
to Noe Haven also appears to be economically justified and
should result in savings of about $254,000 annually. Some New
London employees will te adversely affected, but they are being
treated according to national labir agreement terms. Analysis
for the two connolidations by local postal officials was in
accordance with Postal Service guid'lines and long term goals.
