Government affairs

Today, the House and Senate will head home until after Labor Day, returning on Sept. 8. At this writing, the House was still in session to deal with some unfinished business, but it was expected to recess before the weekend.

As you know, recesses are ideal times to for letter carriers to reconnect with their members of Congress in representatives’ district offices or at local events, to keep our issues front and center.

Keeping the conversation going is critical as we work to frame the debate about the Postal Service on Capitol Hill.

Please let your House and Senate representatives know about pertinent legislation and encourage their support for the bills outlined above.
