The Postal Service's money crisis: What the agency wants from Congress

September 8, 2011 - 09:39 PM

Yes, the agency is very much in the red, but now we're hearing the Postal Service may default on its payment for retiree benefits. But these aren't benefits for current employees.

National Association of Letter Carriers' President, Fred Rolando, spoke with us about the money woes and why Congress is the only ones who can fix it.
