Hopefully Help is on the way for the U.S Postal Service by a vote of in February

The U.S House of Representatives passed the Postal Service Reform Act of 2022. This bill will require future postal service retirees who have been paying into Medicare their entire careers to enroll into Medicare. It could send the postal service 22.6 billion dollars over a ten-year period of eliminates the requirement to prefund retiree Health Benefits. It mandates six-day integrated service delivery.

The Postal Service Reform Act usual allow the Postal Service to enter into contracts with state, local and tribal government to provide noncommercial property and services that provide enhanced value. It provides for the expansion of special rates for local newspapers, Regular Congressional reporting and postal services operations and financial performances to enable accountability of stated cost sunning revenue and infrastructure investment goals.

During debates on the floor Congressman Danny K. Davis recalled that during his time as a postal clerk employees worked with a great deal of pride and used this quote a great deal of time.

“Clean hands, gentle touch, surely we owe a letter that much.”

This is a very important step in the right direction, and I strongly support H.R. 3076, The Postal Service Reform Act 2022.
