You have likely heard of the corrupt Repug legislation (2006) that sabotaged the PO by requiring they "prefund retiree health benefits decades in advance." It was a burden that no other private or public entity has been subjected to. It's only real purpose was to bankrupt the PO so it could be privatized. The new, proposed Bill would eliminate that burden.
"According to a press release from Rep. Pete DeFazio (D-OR), 'Reps. Peter DeFazio (OR-04), Tom Reed (NY-23), Carolyn B. Maloney (NY-12), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), Colin Allred (TX-32) and Senators Steve Daines (R-MT) and Brian Schatz (D-HI) today announced reintroduction of the USPS Fairness Act, bipartisan legislation to provide the United States Postal Service (USPS) much-needed financial relief by ending the agency’s burdensome prefunding mandate on future retiree health benefits.'"
