On July 24, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, held a mark-up session on his postal bill, H.R. 2748. The committee, which has oversight of the Postal Service, passed the measure on a party-line vote and recommend it for consideration by the full House of Representatives.



The NALC strongly opposes this harmful bill. During Congress’ upcoming summer recess, when House members will be visiting constituents in their home districts, our legislative and grassroots activists will meet with our representatives and explain to them how this bill:


fails to provide a long-term solution to the disastrous and unfair pre-funding burden
jeopardizes the Postal Service’s most important asset: its brand for trusted universal service
would slash services to Americans and eliminate at least 100,000 good jobs

directly attacks postal employees’ collective-bargaining rights

creates a costly new level of bureaucracy at the Postal Service.

Here is NALC President Fredric Rolando’s statement:
