Three members of Iowa’s Congressional delegation will meet Thursday afternoon with the U.S. Postmaster General to discuss plans to close a postal service facility in Sioux City. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says he’s concerned the proposal will result in dozens of Iowa jobs lost.
Grassley says the plan would close the Sioux City mail sorting center and combine it with one in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, eliminating 50-some jobs in Sioux City and not all of the employees would be given the opportunity to move to the other facility if they wanted to. Grassley, Senator Tom Harkin and Congressman Steve King will take part in the meeting.
