Supreme Court to hear challenge from ex-Postal Service worker who refused to work on Sundays

Georgia ranked worst in the nation in on-time mail delivery during the second quarter of this year, according to a new report from the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General.

ATLANTA — U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., grilled the head of the U.S. Postal Service Tuesday about monthslong delays in delivering mail processed at a new regional distribution center in Palmetto.

Since the Atlanta Regional Processing and Distribution Center began operations earlier this year, only 36% of inbound mail is being delivered on time, Ossoff said during a hearing held by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. About 66% of outbound mail is being delivered on time, he said.
