Political Quotes

“Mr. President, current law provides postmasters and post office supervisors with the opportunity to consult over pay and benefits. This is not collective bargaining and does not result in a contract. Unfortunately, the Postal Service tries to modify, reduce or eliminate supervisors' benefits outside the normal consultation process, arguing that Congress intended this consultation for the creation but not elimination of benefit programs. This amendment simply clarifies existing law that the consultation requirement applies to any changes to pay or benefits. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who yields time? The Senator from Connecticut.”
