LEAGUE and NAPUS has been working with Postal Headquarters to find the best way to fill these jobs while continuing to find a landing spot for impacted Postmasters. These jobs can only be made available after the community meetings have taken place. The initial posting on 12\/18\/2012 will include most all those offices that have had community meetings so far and the 30 day notice requirement to the community has been met.
