URGENT!! The Trump Administration is planning to issue an Executive Order firing the members of the Postal Board of Governors and placing the agency under the control of the Commerce Department. We need ALL of our members to contact their members of Congress NOW to stand up against this Executive Order. The phone number to the Capitol Switchboard is 202-224-3121. Tell Congress that rural letter carriers and the American people will not stand for the dismantling of America's Postal Service.
