HOUSTON — The United States Postal Service is bringing in additional personnel to help with the mail delays happening at two Houston-area processing centers, Congressman Al Green said.

KHOU 11 was the first to tell you about the delays and has been reporting on it now for more than a month.

In a statement sent out Tuesday, Congressman Green said USPS has already brought in 23 extra people to help with the backlog as well as 10 additional plant managers. It's unknown if these are recently hired employees or people being brought in from other facilities in Houston.

"It was indicated that they are working tirelessly to resolve mail delivery issues and to modernize mail processing for the Greater Houston area," Green said.

====================

The mail delays are preventing people from receiving their prescription medications.

1. Should have been done earlier.

It took ten days for a priority mail box I sent here in Houston to go less than 20 miles to the recipient. There are instances of people still waiting for Christmas packages, and plenty of people have not received medications.

The North Houston and Missouri City facilities are where packages go to disappear.

2. One additional manager for every 2.3 additional workers?
