Friend,

Around the country today, working people are calling their senators to urge them to vote YES on the USPS Fairness Act.

This bill would strengthen the U.S. Postal Service by repealing an unfair law requiring the US Postal Service to set aside retirement benefits for future workers who haven’t even been born yet. No other government agency or private sector business faces this mandate. Without having to pay for this unreasonable requirement, the Postal Service can focus on investing in innovations that serve every American household and business.

Will you join other working people in supporting our Postal Service, and make a call?

Dial (833) 924-0085 and tell the switchboard operator that you are asking your Senators to co-sponsor The USPS Fairness Act (S.2965). This Act would help secure our public Postal Service’s finances by removing the unfair mandate that forces the Postal Service to pay now for retirees’ health benefits 75 years into the future.

Earlier this month, the House of Representatives passed its version of the bill with a huge bipartisan two-thirds majority. If we work together, we can win in the Senate too.

And we need to win this fight. The Postal Service is a source of good union jobs and it is a community anchor in towns and cities across America. It’s up to us to protect our public Postal Service.

In 2006, Congress saddled our public Postal Service with an unfair and unsustainable burden of pre-funding retiree health care benefits for 75 years into the future. No other private company or public organization has to do this. This law has served as an excuse to cut good union jobs, reduce services, and promote the idea of privatization.

The USPS Fairness Act (S.2965) would put the Postal Service back onto a sustainable path for our communities by repealing that mandate. It’s up to us to build support and get this passed to save our public Postal Service.

Call 833-924-0085 today! Tell your Senators to support S. 2965, the USPS Fairness Act.

In Solidarity,

Sydney Roberts
