NALC – A bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives has now cosponsored House Resolution 23 (H. Res. 23<\/a>), which expresses the sense that the U.S. Postal Service should take all appropriate measures to ensure the continuation of door delivery for all business and residential customers. It now has 220 cosponsors.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the efforts of letter carriers nationwide, the resolution reached the 218-cosponsor threshold and is now the fourth of NALC\u2019s five priority resolutions that enjoy a majority of support in either the House or Senate.<\/p>\n

This is great news, but we can\u2019t stop there. We still need Representatives to cosponsor the bipartisan USPS Fairness Act (H.R. 2382<\/a>), which would repeal the burdensome prefunding mandate and\u00a0H. Res. 60<\/a>, which calls for strong service standards.<\/p>\n
