Senate Call-In Action to Support the USPS Fairness Act
The USPS Fairness Act would repeal the “prefunding mandate” that was passed into law in 2006. This mandate forces the USPS to pay now for retiree health care contributions for 75 years into the future. No other private company or public organization has to do this. The mandate has been used to cut good union jobs, implement service cuts, and as a pretext for privatization. Removing the prefunding mandate is a key part of reforming the Postal Service, to help it provide community services we need in the 21st century.
