Protecting US Postal Service from Privatization: Ensuring Citizen Services

The U.S. Senate expresses its view that the United States Postal Service should remain an independent government establishment and not be privatized. This aims to ensure postal services remain accessible and affordable for all citizens, especially in rural communities, and to protect jobs and critical national infrastructure.
Key points
The US Postal Service will remain an independent government entity, meaning it will not be sold to private companies.
This will prevent price increases and service reductions, especially in rural areas.
Maintaining the USPS as a public institution protects the jobs of over 630,000 employees, including many veterans.
