MI HCR0018

Urges the United States Congress to oppose privatization of the United States Postal Service (USPS)

Notes that USPS is a constitutional function under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution and operates without taxpayer funding through postage sales

Highlights USPS as a major employer with over 500,000 employees and part of the $1.4 trillion mailing industry that employs 7.5 million Americans

States that privatization would increase prices and reduce service in Michigan's 32 rural counties where delivery is more expensive and unprofitable for private companies

Directs copies of the resolution be sent to the President, Congressional leadership, and Michigan's congressional delegation
