Phasing Out Saturday Postal Deliveries
A House panel will debate today a new bill to help the Postal Service. It would phase out Saturday mail delivery and let the agency forgo past payments to its retiree health care benefits fund. The Postal Service would also be able to fire employees in Reduction-in-Force programs, regardless of collective bargaining agreements. At the same meeting, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will take on more bills affecting federal employees. One would let agencies place employees under investigation for certain offenses on unpaid leave. Another would make customers' feedback a factor in personnel reviews.
We are witnessing the burial of Contract Law. Actually, it died when the auto manufacturers filed bankruptcy and the government re-allocated the assets without regard to legal precedent.
