Meet the USPS Fairness Act.

USPS is forced to prefund its employees’ health care *50 years in advance* — the #1 cause of USPS’s money problems.

Last year we voted 309-106(!!) to repeal this monstrosity. Mcconnell blocked it for 333 days.

We are moving fast to pass it again.

9. I love this site, but this is not true

This requirement is the same rules that govern my pension. The post office has not complied with the requirement since 2010 and it ended in 2019.

Then fire DeVoss and the entire USPS board of governors.

Time for a clean sweep.
