POLITICS AND LEGISLATION

The Union's Active Role

The NPMHU maintains a very effective legislative program that monitors legislation being considered by Congress that will have an impact on postal workers and/or their families. The NPMHU has a presence on Capitol Hill, and is often invited to testify before House and Senate Committees considering legislation affecting postal and federal employees.

The NPMHU also manages and directs the activities of a political action committee. Using only voluntary contributions, the Mail Handlers PAC provides support to congressional candidates who support the Union's efforts to preserve Mail Handlers jobs and to improve the legislated benefits received by Mail Handlers and their families.
