General Counsel and Executive Vice President Mary Anne Gibbons
General Counsel and Executive Vice President Mary Anne Gibbons will retire from USPS May 3, 2013.
A member of the Executive Leadership Team, Gibbons joined USPS in 1985 as a labor law attorney. She was named to lead the Postal Service’s Law Department in 1999, making her the longest-serving USPS general counsel.
PMG Pat Donahoe praised Gibbons’ achievements for USPS. “Over the years, I have counted on her guidance and solid advice, which consistently takes into account comprehensive legal views as well as our mission to serve our country and the American public,” he said. “I congratulate Mary Anne on her distinguished career and thank her for all she has contributed to the Postal Service over the past 28 years.”
During her career, Gibbons played a major role in the development of the Postal Service’s legislative initiatives. She also shepherded USPS in several groundbreaking legal areas, including the first agreement with FedEx in 2000 and implementation of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) of 2006.
Under Gibbons’ direction, the Postal Service’s 15 legal offices formed productive and collaborative relationships with other departments in the organization.

Hello it was a joy visting your blog.
The former president of Greater Los Angeles Area Local and recent National Rank and File Bargaining Advisory Committee member, after losing his bid for re election to his APWU Local office, has been working as an Acting Labor Relations Specialist in the Los Angeles District for about six months and is still working in that capacity today. This appeared on the 21st Century Postal Worker website… to which I comment that folks on that website are too wrapped up in ideological pursuits instead of actually representing employees. The fact that this person lost an election and went into maneement is analogous to, say, LeBron James not being re-signed by Miami upon becoming a free agent and James then going to Brooklyn only to then having Miami fans call him a traitor. This only shows the ideological idiocy of union members and its officers. APWU members and its officers are morons. What does this have to do with the subject matter? Well, given that this website is a tool of the unions, the subject matter is only posted to generate union lemming commentary on the goings on of upper management echelon that doesn’t mean squat to the ordinary union lemming. Yes, people retire, quit, are fired or die and yes, some of those folks may be in management. So what does that have to do with the every day life and trials of a senior clerk in Peoria that was bumped by a junior clerk only because that junior clerk is a steward and has negotiated superseniority bestowed upon them by the very same folks that the senior clerk pays dues to?
