 Recently, the Postmaster General of the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a plan to eliminate
Saturday mail delivery. While the Postmaster General argues the elimination of Saturday mail
delivery will save money, the detrimental impact it would have on customers who utilize the
USPS for Saturday delivery would be much worse.

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) introduced H.R. 1262 to encourage passage of provisions that will help the USPS move forward into the 21st Century including items such as Vote by Mail, Electric Vehicles, non-postal products, and more.

 The NRLCA opposes both the workers’ compensation provision and the arbitrator language. Rural letter carriers should not be punished for injuries they receive on the job thru no fault of their own. S. 1789 would drastically reduce rural letter carrier’s compensation at retirement when they need the money the most. In addition, the NRLCA opposes the arbitrator language that would unfairly tilt the collective bargaining process in favor of the Postal Service. Collective bargaining between the NRLCA and the USPS has worked well for over 40 years. Congress should not interfere with this time-honored process.

If enacted into law, H.R. 2309 would mandate closing enough post offices and sorting facilities to wring $2 billion dollars in savings from the mail system over the next two years. Service to small towns and to rural postal customers would be devastated.
H.R. 2309 also would also establish a “Solvency Authority” with the power to unilaterally cut wages and benefits

This bill, while providing some provisions that could be supported, it is marred by two provisions that cannot be supported: the elimination of six-day delivery and the addition of pro-management changes to the law governing collective bargaining disputes. The bill would allow the USPS to unilaterally cut the number of delivery days from six to five – or even to four or three days – without Congressional authorization. And it would permanently mandate the consideration of three pro-management instructions to interest arbitrators (with no balancing worker considerations) before issuing a decision to resolve contract impasses in the future

Ask your representative to OPPOSE S. 353

This bill, while providing some provisions that could be supported, it also includes other provisions that cannot be supported: includes a provision that would require arbitrators to “consider financial health of the Postal Service” when rendering decisions about collective bargaining agreements. This would give the USPS an unfair advantage in what is supposed to
be an open, unbiased proces. It also has a provision that
would convert employees on the rolls of OWCP to a “regular” annuity once they reach retirement age. The pensions of most affected employees would be a small fraction of the amount they would have received if they had completed their career without sustaining a debilitating illness or injury
