In mid-October, the Postal Service announced the upcoming retirement of Postmaster General Megan Brennan, after serving in the position for five years. Her retirement will be effective January 31, 2020.
The task of appointing the next Postmaster General now falls to the Postal Service’s Board of Governors. In a climate of increased financial and political pressure on the Postal Service, the selection of the next PMG will be essential to the Postal Service’s future as a public institution.
Signatory organizations of A Grand Alliance to Save Our Public Postal Service are rallying their members onto a public petition demanding that the Postal Board of Governors appoint a new PMG that is committed to public ownership of the Postal Service and to providing quality postal services to everyone – no matter who they are or where they live – at reasonable and uniform rates.
