The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) is calling on supporters to contact Congress and tell their Representatives to co-sponsor a resolution to oppose the privatization of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). Privatizing the Postal Service would have far-reaching negative consequences nationwide, including jeopardizing the jobs of 640,000 Postal Employees and impacting the 7.9 million Americans in the Mailing Industry, endangering the security of the Nation’s Mail System, threatening the safe delivery of prescription drugs, money and election mail, slashing service quality and hiking prices beyond affordability and potentially ceasing delivery for America’s rural and low-income communities, negatively impacting nearly all 50 States in some form. U.S. Representatives Stephen Lynch (Massachusetts) and Nick LaLota (New York) have introduced House Resolution 70 and U.S. Senators Gary Peters (Michigan) and Dan Sullivan (Alaska) have introduced Senate Resolution 147, which calls on Congress to take all appropriate measures to ensure the USPS remains an independent establishment of the Federal Government - and not subject to privatization.
