Privatizing the Postal Service would have far-reaching negative consequences nationwide, including: • Jeopardizing the jobs of 640,000 postal employees, over 73,000 of whom are military veterans, and impacting the 7.9 million Americans in the mailing industry. • Endangering the security of the nation’s mail system, threatening the safe delivery of prescription drugs, money, and election mail. • Slashing service quality and hiking prices beyond affordability. • Potentially ceasing delivery for America’s rural and low-income communities, negatively impacting nearly all 50 states in some form, but especially large, less-populous regions. Reps. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) and Nick LaLota (R-NY) introduced H. Res.70 and Sens. Gary Peters (D-MI) and Dan Sullivan (R-AK) introduced S.Res. 147, which calls on Congress to take all appropriate measures to ensure that the Postal Service remains an independent establishment of the federal government and not subject to privatization.
