3\/20\/23 – Postmaster General Louis DeJoy\u2019s efforts to transform the Postal Service are the focus of a lengthy profile in Time magazine.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0article<\/em><\/a>\u00a0outlines many of the goals of the Delivering for America plan, including establishing sorting and delivery centers, converting more than 125,000 part-time employees to full\u00a0time and making USPS both efficient and profitable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to do: to set the organization up to compete,\u201d DeJoy tells the magazine.<\/p>\n

The article details his baptism by fire after taking on the job in 2020 \u2014 on the uphill slope of a surging pandemic \u2014 and how he has worked with politicians, union leaders and former critics to improve the Postal Service.<\/p>\n

The passage of the Postal Service Reform Act of 2022, the delivery of 500 million COVID-19 tests to homes across the country and the electrification of the USPS fleet are described as achievements that few could have fathomed before his tenure.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeJoy may be the only person on earth who could have delivered these wins for America\u2019s beloved, beleaguered agency,\u201d the article states, explaining how he has drawn upon his previous experience as a CEO and political fundraiser.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Additionally, the article notes that some early criticisms of DeJoy proved erroneous.<\/p>\n

The 3,900-word piece is\u00a0available on Time\u2019s website<\/em><\/a>, in the magazine\u2019s March 27 print edition and on Apple News, where it appears under the headline \u201cThe Mail Man \u2014 Initially cast as a Trumpian villain, Louis DeJoy is delivering for the Postal Service, and Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n

The article concludes by indicating the Postal Service still has a long way to go, but DeJoy plans to keep working to turn the organization around.<\/p>\n

As he tells Time: \u201cI don\u2019t like to leave a job undone.\u201d<\/p>\n
