Government Executive - President Trump’s postal reform task force recommended on Tuesday that the U.S. Postal Service eliminate the ability of employees to negotiate over compensation and develop a dual-tiered pricing model—one for essential services and another for deliveries deemed to have a profit motive.
Led by the Treasury Department, the task force completed its report and delivered recommendations to the White House in August. But the administration decided to keep the report’s findings secret until after last month’s midterm elections, and to delay implementation until a new Congress is installed in January.
Officials said that the task force stopped short of calling for the privatization of the Postal Service because of its “financial state,” but suggested several ways to reduce the labor costs associated with nationwide mail delivery, chief among them ending the ability for postal workers to negotiate over pay.
