Mail Network Protection Act of 2007
Summary
The Mail Network Protection Act of 2007 would have required the United States Postal Service (USPS) to negotiate with employee unions before outsourcing certain core operations to private contractors. This requirement would apply to large-scale contracts for processing, handling, or transporting mail that exceed $5 million or involve a significant amount of labor typically performed by career postal workers. For citizens, the bill aimed to ensure that major changes to how mail is handled remained subject to collective bargaining, potentially impacting the stability of the postal workforce and the oversight of mail delivery services.
