H.R. 2174 , The Paycheck Protection Act, was introduced on March 18th. It must be noted that this bill DOES apply to the USPS. If enacted, it would have a devastating effect on the NALC. This is one we have to follow and make calls when asked.
“To amend title 5, United States Code, to provide that agencies may not deduct labor organization dues from the pay of Federal employees, and for other purposes.”
