A White House executive order creating the task force — to be led by Treasury (CZAR) Steven Mnuchin — said it would examine “the expansion and pricing of the package delivery market and the USPS’s role in competitive markets”.
Despite Amazon’s high-tech credentials, it relies on about 230,000 postal workers to deliver millions of packages along the “last mile” to many American homes.
