Legislature: Support H.R. 1351

Locate your Representative and then use one of the two letters below as a guide for the letter you send.

Remember this: If Congress opens the door to void the no-lay-off protection in our contract the same door let’s them have access to Seniority rights in determining the lay-off process…once that door opens its open season on our entire contract.

SAMPLE LETTER #1 Subject:  Please Cosponsor HR 1351 The U.S. Postal Service is currently facing a financial crisis partly due to the recession but more significantly caused by the burdensome requirement of the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act that it make payments of $5.4 billion dollars annually to prefund it retiree health benefits.  Absent those prefunding mandates the Postal Service would actually be operating at a surplus over the last 4 fiscal years. Recent independent audits performed for the USPS Office of Inspector General and the Postal Regulatory Commission have shown that the USPS has already overfunded its Civil Service Retirement Fund by over $50 billion dollars and also has overfunded the Federal Employee Retirement System by nearly $7 billion dollars. H.R. 1351 is a bill that would resolve those financial inequities and bring the Postal Service into financial solvency with no use of tax payer money. Please take the time to cosponsor, and later support HR 1351 when it is considered in the House of Representatives.	SAMPLE LETTER #2 Subject:  Please Cosponsor HR 1351 I respectfully request that you consider becoming a cosponsor to H.R. 1351, a bill introduced by Representative Stephen Lynch of MA. The U.S. Postal Service is currently facing a financial crisis partly due to the recession, but more significantly caused by the burdensome requirement of the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) that it make payments averaging $5.5 billion dollars annually to prefund it retiree health benefits.  Absent those prefunding mandates the Postal Service would actually be operating at a surplus over the last 4 fiscal years.  In addition, recent independent audits have shown that the USPS has already overfunded its Civil Service Retirement Fund by over $50 billion dollars and also has overfunded the Federal Employee Retirement System by nearly $7 billion dollars. H.R. 1351 would resolve those financial inequities and bring the Postal Service into financial solvency with no use of tax payer money.
