EAST TEXAS — An additional shift at surviving U.S. Postal Service processing plants should ensure the pace of letters and packages sent from Northeast Texas is unchanged by the likely closing of the Tyler facility, that’s according to a postal spokesman. The Longview News-Journal reports, McKinney Boyd in the Dallas U.S. Postal Service office said 200 positions eliminated in Tyler, if Congress fails to act by May 15, will be absorbed by attrition. Boyd said employees will have the opportunity to apply for new jobs in new locations. Post offices in Overton and Easton closed during the summer.
