NALC – July 16, 2014<\/p>\n

The full House of Representatives voted Wednesday to preserve six-day mail delivery appropriations language by passing H.R. 5016, the Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) appropriations bill. \"3-NALC<\/a><\/p>\n

The base bill was introduced last month without the six-day provision, which has been part of appropriations bills for decades. But following extensive lobbying efforts nationwide, that language was successfully reinserted into the bill that was approved on June 25 by the House Appropriations Committee, thanks to an amendment co-sponsored by Reps. Jos\u00e9 Serrano (D-NY) and Tom Latham (R-IA).<\/p>\n

Additionally, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa\u2019s (R-CA) last-ditch attempt to remove the language during the House rules process was defeated earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s victory is a major one for the NALC and our activists who have pressured lawmakers\u2014and continue to pressure them\u2014to support six-day mail delivery,\u201d NALC President Fredric Rolando said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
