The 295,000 active and retired members of the National Association of Letter Carriers have
a message to deliver: Hands off the Postal Service.
ANY EFFORT TO PRIVATIZE OR RESTRUCTURE USPS IS A DIRECT THREAT TO:
640,000 postal employees, including 200,000 city letter carriers represented by NALC
The universal service every American relies on
Millions of households and businesses, especially in rural America
THE CONSEQUENCES WOULD BE DEVASTATING:
Jeopardizing the jobs of the 7.9 million people employed by the $1.92 trillion mailing
industry
Reducing services to 51.5 million households and businesses in rural communities,
where private carriers do not deliver
Raising shipping costs and driving inflation higher for businesses and consumers
SUCH PROPOSALS ARE ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL:
The Postal Service, older than our nation itself, is enshrined in the Constitution.
The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, a key role in setting postal policy.
Mandated by federal law, USPS has been an independent, self-sufficient agency for 55
years.
Why we’re fighting:
To protect the jobs of 640,000 USPS employees, including 73,000 veterans
To uphold our universal service obligation, delivering 376 million pieces of mail and
packages to nearly 169 million delivery points nationwide
To safeguard USPS, one of the nation’s most trusted public agencies
To oppose privatization efforts or reorganizational mandates that would threaten the
Postal Service and our jobs
