Urge Amendments to Senate Postal Legislation

Take Action!

Postal reform legislation is likely to be considered on the Senate floor very soon, possibly as early as February 6.  NAPS is concerned that the bill approved by the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (S. 1789) is defective in critical ways.  Important changes are needed before the Senate passes postal reform legislation.

Alert your Senators and urge passage of legislation that preserves postal service to all Americans and builds a base for a more profitable operation.  The Senate can restore the Postal Service to profitability by fixing the defects in the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act and kick-starting new growth initiatives.
Take Action.  Contact your Senators today by clicking on the “Take Action” link. Take Action!

    3. What is this?, The Postal Unions telling Congress not to help the US Post Office,

    it is the Unions dictating to Congress, yet Congress listens not to those they serve.

    The Bill S- 1789 in the United States Senate, was to help to salvage what is left of the US Post Office, and offer Early Retirements to workers, so as to avoid a Reduction in Force and layoffs, the NALC, APWU, and the Mail handlers Unions have basically doomed any legislation to keep the Postal Office solvent,the bottom line is Union dues for the Bigwigs in these Unions.

    5. Nothing is going to happen till next year or later. Everybody is waiting to see what is going to happen. The Postal Service is going to wait these people out and then offer lowball incentives to retire. I will go when I’m ready to go and not sooner. No use waiting for a small piece of change to be thrown to you. They know that a lot of people are waiting and are just playing games with us. Congress is not going to do anything either, they will not act even after the election, cause Obama will still be President till at least 20 Jan 2013. Don’t look for any action till then. The Postal Service will default at the end of this fiscal year to make a statement and then Congress will take over and really kill the USPS.

    6. Big Spoon: another doofus that can see into the future.

    7. I can see your ass in the unemployment line soon. Name calling is not useful, unless you can’t think of anything else. They asked us to tell them what you’re thinking and I did. I guess you did also, nothing.

    8. Hey Big Spoon, I agree that the PO will default (and run out of cash) by the end of the fiscal year. Congress is incapable of agreeing on anything. We will have a 1-2 week shutdown while Congress pushes through a temporary fix. More of the same old thing. Pray for a buyout/early out offer.

    9. I see early out coming, be ready, and don’t let the door hit you in the butt.

  9. hawki on Tue, 31st Jan 2012 3:11 pm

    10. I don’t see how anyone can say for sure what is likely to happen as to when and whether a buyout will even happen. I really think that it is prudent for this to happen, and sooner, than later. I personally know people who see the downward spiral of the Postal Service, and like myself are going, with or without the cashola.

    There is something coming, and it may not be good, but the senate has it under wraps, and not for Summer of 2012, watch the news, if we hear we tell.

    14. It is coming, 25K and up to two years to retire from a certain date. That way OPM is not swamped with retirments and it will be an orderly outflow with probably the biggest push at the very beginning, first few months. Then a steady outflow of retirements up til two years out. That way the PO knows exactly how many is going and when and can adjust OPM needs accordingly along with the necessary funds for payments.

    15. To the Big Spoon and the rest, Postal Management has to show Congress before the new fiscal year (October 2012) that did try something to advert another massive loss like the 5 billion dollars lost in 2011′s fiscal year. With Congress not wanting an end to Saturday delivery and facility closings; right now a early-out for the employees would show attempt/effort in that direction for improvement.
