Hundreds of employees affected by ETX mail processing center closureTYLER, TX (KLTV) - Mail is no longer being processed directly in East Texas.
We first told you back in February that the East Texas Processing and Distribution Center would be closing its doors by June 1.
Mail has gradually been moving out of the center since April 1, and last Saturday, May 18, the last pieces of mail were processed here in East Texas.
And the closure affects more than just your mail.
I sat down recently with two postal contractors whose routes have been affected by the closure.
They asked us to protect their identities because they are afraid they'll lose more routes by speaking out, but they wanted people to know just what this closure means for the people of East Texas.
The USPS says there were just over 200 employees working at the East Texas P&DC, and that none of them were laid off.
"No employee has been laid off or terminated due to this organizational change. All employees were offered new positions with the organization, and if they voluntarily decided it was not in their best interest to accept this position, it was a voluntary decision that that employee made," said McKinney Boyd, the USPS spokesperson for the Dallas district.

If my mail were to start being delivered once a week it would have very little effect to my life!!!!
Just another Obama economic attack on Texas. Expect more of that.
