Removal of USPS drop boxes on hold
MISSOULA, Mont. — UPDATE: At 3:10 Friday afternoon, NBC Montana confirmed that the removal of USPS collection boxes has been put on hold statewide. A union leader says the decision came after Friday's pressure.

“Simply put, Montanans cannot afford to see their access to the Post Office cut. The challenges you face to ensure the USPS remains financially stable are no excuse.

Removal of USPS drop boxes on hold

But that's not all the monkey business he/they has been up to which is causing the mail to be delayed.
