Louis Dejoy

Plympton – Plympton Postmaster, Michael Light was among nineteen area Postmasters recently sworn into office by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in a ceremony held in Boston. The title of Postmaster, at one time a politically appointed position, is only granted to those employees who demonstrate the highest level of commitment to the Postal Service and to the millions of customers we serve nationwide. They oversee all aspects of local retail and delivery operations for the Postal Service in your community.

A forthcoming bill called the Green Postal Service Fleet Act would require the Postal Service to have 'at least 75% electric or zero emission vehicles.'

DeJoy, the Greensboro resident named Postmaster General in 2020, was being investigated for campaign contributions made by employees who worked for him when he was CEO of New Breed Logistics.

For more than 18 months I have suffered failing service from the U.S. Postal Service. Beginning with Donald Trump’s appointment of the unqualified campaign contributor Louis DeJoy, who also invests heavily in competing delivery services, my household along with countless others no longer receives either daily or on-time deliveries. DeJoy claimed that he acted to control costs and cover the poorly designed postal workers’ retirement fund. But at the same time, he actively cut back on legally mandated services and endorsed Trump’s and his allies’ partisan and illegal efforts to repudiate legally endorsed mail-in balloting (which my household has done for more than a decade legally and without incident, and safely during the pandemic).

DENVER (KCNC) — More than a dozen workers from various post offices in the Denver metro area protested Wednesday as U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy visited the Mile High City to speak with area supervisors. A post office spokesperson says DeJoy gave a progress report on his 10-year plan, a set of goals proposed last year that has been largely opposed by local union postal employees.

Congress approved the Post Service Reform Act this week, a bill that should end over a decade of financial pain for the U.S. Postal Service. There was no guarantee that any bill to rescue the oldest federal agency from possible collapse would make it to President Joe Biden’s desk. The final version doesn’t transform the Postal Service like progressives wanted — but at least it rejects calls from conservatives to further privatize the system. In what amounts to a miracle these days, the bill to fix the problems that left the USPS teetering on the brink of collapse got bipartisan support in the House and Senate.

Sometime in the late 1990s, the West Virginia postmasters held their annual convention in Harpers Ferry. They invited my boss, the Superintendent of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, to welcome them. He asked me to go on his behalf, which I was happy to do. At that time, this was...
