U.S. Senators Add Amendment to Bill to Stop USPS Closures
“At a time when Postal Service revenue is increasing, it makes no sense to eliminate thousands of jobs and slow down the mail service that millions of Americans rely on,” Sanders said. “We should be working to strengthen the Postal Service not send it into a death spiral.”
"The post office provides a critical basic service to everyone no matter where you live," U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a Michigan senator supporting the amendment, added. "Closing facilities and cutting services will lead to delays that will harm Michigan businesses and families. I remain committed to stopping closures and ending a requirement by law that the Postal Service overfund retiree health care, which is the biggest reason for its recent operating losses."
