According to USPS, closing the IT center and selling the facility should save USPS about $74 million over the next 10 years and result in increased efficiency. All IT union employees and about half of IT management employees will be offered the opportunity to relocate with their jobs to other postal IT centers. The San Mateo IT Center also houses an Accounting Service Center whose functions and staff are to be moved into leased space in the San Francisco Bay Area. GAO undertook this study to, among other things, identify the process USPS is following in making its decision about closing the IT center and determine the impact such a closure would have on IT employees at the center. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-205/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-205.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-205/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-205.pdf GAO-03-205 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-205 Other Written Product GAO-03-205; Postal Service: Employee Issues Associated with the Potential Closure of the San Mateo IT Center; Economic analysis Employee transfers Information technology Postal service employees Federal facilities Personnel management Facility management New York (NY) San Mateo (CA)
