Your Safety
Our very first priority is ensuring that the Postal Service provides for the health and safety of our members.
Postal workers are on the front-lines of the pandemic response.
We are working to ensure that the hardworking men and women who keep medicine, medical equipment, food, supplies and other essential goods moving through the mail are protected as the country relies on us in ways they never have before.
