Postmaster general says postal service can't return mail-sorting machines

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said U.S. Postal Service mail-sorting machines dismantled earlier this year would not be put back together, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Judge Stanley Bastian of Yakima, Wash., issued a nationwide injunction last week to temporarily halt changes to Postal Service policies that have resulted in mail delivery delays across the country.

DeJoy and the Postal Service said Wednesday in a filing to be considered by the judge that the injunction should be amended to acknowledge the machines cannot be put back together.
