From NARFE ( National Active and Retired Federal Employees)
http://capwiz.com/narfe/issues/alert/?alertid=63103316
The Postal Reform Act of 2014 was recently approved by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. S. 1486 now awaits consideration by the full Senate.
The bill would severely diminish or authorize the elimination of long-standing employee benefits, including changes to workers compensation for federal and postal employees disabled by work-related injuries and illnesses.
It also eliminates the promise of retirement income security for the next generation of postal employees, and includes changes to the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program for postal employees and retirees.
President Beaudoin urges each NARFE member to use our Legislative Action Center to send a message to both your senators opposing S. 1486.

First they came for the Federal Employees. Will they come for you next?
Please support federal workers and write your Congress-Critters.
