US labour news headlines from LabourStart The Washington Post has reported that the Trump Administration is contemplating issuing an Executive Order firing the Postal Board of Governors and placing the United States Postal Service under the control of the Commerce Department. Such a change would be the first step in destroying the Postal Service an institution central to more than 166 million households and businesses. The Postal Service through the work of its 640000 employees is responsible for ensuring that every American receives packages and mail ranging from Social Security checks necessary medications government correspondence packages and mail from loved ones. The Postal Service is an institution that is ingrained in our Constitution and older than the United States of America itself.
