Certainly the overly generous pay of postal employees ought to be reduced by 1/6th when this reduction of service kicks in.

amazingly, the postal service workers have the best pay and benefits of all the federal employees! Their bloated benefits and employee numbers have brought about this dismal situation, along with poor competitive practices and outdated practices.
I’m ok w/ M-F mail delivery, and I can support some increase in mail cost BUT the postal service (employees, benefits, physical facilities, logistical framework, etc.) should be FULLY revamped. To use obummer’s favorite word, that would only be FAIR.

Why? If you get paid for 5 days of work and the company shuts down for 2 days a week, why would they cut your pay?

This is fine as a cost-cutting measure but other posters are right that the real issue is that postal workers get pay and benefits that are much more generous than they should get based on a comparison to other workers who do comparable jobs.

I would bet the union contracts will NOT allow for that. I cannot fathom how suspending one day of mail only can save $2,000,000,000.
