Des Moines Register: The head of the Des Moines postal workers’ union says the new U.S. postmaster general’s cost-cutting measures are slowing down mail delivery in central Iowa. Des Moines Local 44 American Postal Workers Union President Mike Bates said that since Postmaster General Louis DeJoy banned overtime last month, supervisors have ordered trucks to leave the distribution station at exactly the prescribed time, even if workers have not yet loaded them with all of the day’s mail.
