MI HCR0012

Opposes the United States Postal Service's January 2024 plan to transfer mail processing operations from the Iron Mountain Processing and Distribution Center in Michigan to the Green Bay facility in Wisconsin.

Objects to the transfer based on concerns that it will increase shipping times for Upper Peninsula residents and businesses, particularly affecting health departments requiring 24-hour sample delivery, patients receiving medications by mail, and food businesses.

Criticizes the Postal Service's "Delivering for America" plan for prioritizing financial viability and profit over service quality, arguing this approach undermines the postal system's mission to serve all Americans regardless of location.

Notes the transfer will eliminate five craft employee positions and potentially force reassignments, leaving some employees without jobs if unwilling to relocate to distant locations.

Directs copies of the resolution be sent to the Governor of Michigan, the President, Congress leadership, Michigan's congressional delegation, and the Postmaster General.
