THE NPMHU LEGISLATIVE AGENDA FOR THE 119TH CONGRESS,  SECOND SESSION — 2026

In the second session of the 119th Congress, NPMHU’s legislative agenda will continue to focus on protecting the fundamentals of the United States Postal Service, ensuring that it will remain a public institution and not subject to privatization. The Postal Service is engrained in the Constitution to deliver letters and packages to every single American household and business. It employs over 640,000 dedicated men and women throughout the country — including more than 55,000 mail handlers. Postal privatization fails to recognize our value to the United States of America and the communities served. Privatization would only mean increased rates and decreased service for customers, and loss of jobs for dedicated employees. The Union will also continue to advocate for improvements to the Postal Service’s finances, growing postal revenue, protecting service standards for customers, defending earned retirement and healthcare benefits, promoting workers’ rights, and strengthening American elections.
