David Steiner, a former CEO of the Nation’s largest Waste Management Company who currently serves on the FedEx Board of Directors, is poised to take over control of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), becoming the country’s 76th Postmaster General. This comes as President Donald Trump and his adviser Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have raised the idea of privatizing the nearly 250-year-old USPS, which has faced financial challenges amid a changing mail mix and other issues. Postal Unions also view the choice of Steiner as a harbinger for possible privatization of some or all of the venerable quasi-public institution, which is largely self-funded and has a mission to serve every address in the U.S. National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) President Brian Renfroe said: “His selection isn’t just a conflict of interest - it’s an aggressive step toward handing America’s Mail System over to corporate interests. Private shippers have been waiting to get USPS out of parcel delivery for years. Steiner’s selection is an open invitation to do just that.”
