That wouldn't come close to eliminating half of the overall work the USPS does -- only in the areas of staffing the PO and the folks who actually deliver the mail would potentially be impacted that much.Heck.... let's save a LOT of money... fire half the work force and have mail delivered twice a week... some places get Mon and Thur and others Tues and Friday.... just like garbage...
If the volume of mail didn't change much, you'd just have just as much work that needed to be done in the transportation and sorting infrastructure. In other words, to use corporate buzzword bingo speak the "customer facing" stuff could be cut in half but the "back office" stuff would be barely impacted.
