The tough part of the semi privatized USPS is the number of folks involved in the decision making processes. Congress, featuring the unlimited power of idiot assemblage, maintains final approval over any adjustment to the business model. Postal executives were able to shield themselves from the hard business decisions by pointing to Congress and saying they would never support that. It is only since the TEA Party challenged the demand for larger subsidies (12 bill requested, 8 bill granted ly, already at the table looking for 5 bill more) that the CEO and Congress decided to seriously consider structural changes, including reduced first class delivery, while expanding premium delivery. Getting rid of the processing centers is long overdue. These guys can go to 3 day delivery, push the carriers to 4/10 days, eliminate overtime, reduce the head count by phasing out contractors, then through attrition, and effect similar savings quickly on the delivery side. But, unspoken, heck, not even whispered is the USPS, like both Fannie and Freddie, is an affirmative action hot potato and the structural problems had to reach terminal mass before anyone, appointed or elected, would engage them.
