USPS bringing in extra workers to help with mail delays at Houston-area processing centers, congressman says

HOUSTON — The United States Postal Service is bringing in additional personnel to help with the mail delays happening at two Houston-area processing centers, Congressman Al Green said.

KHOU 11 was the first to tell you about the delays and has been reporting on it now for more than a month.

In a statement sent out Tuesday, Congressman Green said USPS has already brought in 23 extra people to help with the backlog as well as 10 additional plant managers. It's unknown if these are recently hired employees or people being brought in from other facilities in Houston.

"It was indicated that they are working tirelessly to resolve mail delivery issues and to modernize mail processing for the Greater Houston area," Green said.
