Note: An updated version of the 2011 Redesign FAQs will be posted on or soon after the March 23rd announcement.
1. Why is the Postal Service going through an organizational redesign - are these changes necessary? The shift to digital communications coupled with the recent recession resulted in the most dramatic drop in business in Postal Service history.
