美国邮政原是美国政府的一个部。1970年,美国国会通过“邮政改组法”,把它改为联邦企业,称美国邮政总局。改为企业后,邮政总局订出的主要奋斗目标,用我们的话来说,叫“扭亏为盈”。原来美国邮政长期亏损,邮政总局成立后,采取的对策是: ——精减人员;同时雇用包括黑人、妇女等在内的各种工作人员,以提高工作效率。到1979年,在业务量增加190亿件的情况下,减员6万人,获取利润4亿多美元。这在美国邮政历史上是少有的事。——合理安排邮政处理中心,发展机化械。例如设在北弗古尼亚地区的邮件分拣中心,占地10万平方米,有7台12席位信函分拣机。每台机器小时分拣速度为42,000件,每台须17—19人配合工作,并有
