The National Association of Postal Supervisors, representing over 28,000 active and retired supervisory and managerial employees of the United States Postal Service, supports the passage of comprehensive postal reform that ends the financial crisis afflicting the Postal Service and provides a foundation for future stability and growth. NAPS believes that comprehensive postal reform should embrace short-term and long-term solutions.The immediate crisis facing the Postal Service is largely due to past actions taken by Congress. Short-term solutions should correct those errors and aim at restoring financial solvency. Longer-term solutions, meanwhile, should aim to fortify revenue and provide wider authority to the Postal Service to transform itself and sell innovative products and services.
While no single action will solve the Postal Service’s problems, NAPS believes that four key solutions lie at the heart of comprehensive postal reform:
- Repeal or modify the retiree health prefunding requirement
- Return pension overfunding to the Postal Service
- Preserve Saturday delivery and other delivery standards
- Authorize the Postal Service to sell additional products and services NAPS provides these comments in response to the legislation, entitled the “Postal Reform Act of 2013,” cosponsored by Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), ranking member of the HSGAC.
NAPS believes that the legislation falls short of the progress made by the Senate in its passage of S. 1789 during the 112th Congress. While we compliment Chairman Carper and Ranking Member Coburn for their bipartisan efforts, we believe the bill should be revised in conformance with the following comments. Our comments are organized by section of the bill and incorporate descriptions of the provisions contained in the section-by-section summary prepared by HSGAC staff.

Can anyone think of a better name for this group of bums, than “NAPS” ?
Mostly what they already do all day.
Porkchop is right. By the time our useless Congress is done with Syria, the budget and another vacation, they will never get to Postal reform.
they will never get around to vote on any bill in congress,they have better things to do.
The people who represent 28,00 useless, underachieving, wanna be douche bags…. Oh wait, they are… Want to tell us there thoughts on making the usps profitable?? That’s easy, thin out all the waste…. Aka. Management !!!
Really, NAPS, sounding like a Parrot of the
APWU & NALC, just trying to save their own
asses, not worried about the workers, nothing
new here.
There isn’t enough mail to justify preserving Saturday delivery! 5 day all the way!
