USPS works 24/7 actually (my girlfriend works in one of their regional sorting facilities). Mail is sorted throughout the whole week, if anything we might see less hours being worked by the sorters on Thursday and Friday when the Saturday deliveries are sorted out. Keep in mind only Saturday delivery is being suggested to be dropped out, that's the end-of-the-line. You still have to sort at all kinds of upper levels (does this piece go to a zipcode within this state, or one of our territories, USVI, etc? And so on, until they get to the local USPS PO, which is the one which would handle the local Saturday delivery). (Not that this disputes anything you said, just pointing out that mail will probably still be sorted the same way its being done right now)
