Senate Introduces Resolution to Oppose USPS Privatization

Posted on by

On March 27, a bipartisan group in the Senate introduced Senate Resolution (S. Res.) 147, which “expresses the sense of the Senate that Congress should take all appropriate measures to ensure that the United States Postal Service remains an independent establishment of the Federal Government and is not subject to privatization.”

The bipartisan resolution, led by Senators Gary Peters (D-MI), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), and Thom Tillis (R-NC), is crucial to demonstrating the strong support of the Senate for the public services that the Postal Service provides across the country, and the critical work that postal workers do every day to bind the nation together.

On Jan. 28, a group in the House of Representatives introduced their own similar bipartisan resolution, H. Res 70, which expresses the House’s support for taking all appropriate measures to ensure that the Postal Service is not subject to privatization. To date, this resolution has 180 co-sponsors.

“This strong showing of bipartisan support from both chambers of Congress confirms what we have always known, that the Post Office is our national treasure, providing invaluable services to the public,” said APWU President Mark Dimondstein. “The essential services we provide as postal workers cannot be replicated in the private sector, and any attempt to privatize the Postal Service would only increase costs and reduce services, which would be harmful to the people and businesses across the country.”

“The APWU extends our deepest appreciation to the senators leading the fight to protect the people’s Postal Service and push back against privatization attempts,” said Legislative and Political Director Judy Beard. “I am asking every APWU member, their families, and community allies to reach out to your senators and encourage them to co-sponsor this resolution.”

Please call APWU’s Legislative Hotline at 1-844-402-1001 to be connected to your senators today, and urge them to cosponsor S. Res. 147, which expressly opposes postal privatization. Defending the people’s public Postal Service from privatization is our top priority in 2025.
