APWU Members Advocate for Postal Legislation
The list of co-sponsors for the Postal Service Protection Act (H.R. 630/S. 316) has grown since its introduction on February 13. The Act has gained 71 co-sponsors in the House and 12 co-sponsors in the Senate. Advocacy though letters, phone calls, emails, and meetings from postal workers and concerned citizens to members of Congress continue to be crucial ing garnering co-sponsorships for postal legislation that will halt the dismantling of USPS. Let’s continue the push to see postal legislation that: relieves USPS of the massive pre-funding mandate, allows the Service to recover over-payments to FERS and CSRS, re-establishes overnight delivery standards, protects six-day delivery, allows for the expansion of USPS service line and prevents post office closures.
