Peter and the other congressional Democrats have scheduled a series of public hearings with DeJoy and other officials. The first of these consultations will be held on Thursday, before the Congressional Progressive Caucus. DeJoy will testify before the Senate on August 21 and before the house on August 24 David C. Williams, a former Postal Service Inspectors General and former board member of the council of governors USPS, is among those to testify on Thursday. Williams resigned from the board in April USPS because it fears as politicized under Trump However, he said the CPC on Thursday, an effort that was led by Finance Minister Steven Mnuchin. The Ministry of Finance is responsible for 10 billion to ease tight credit line to help manage the financial burden of the crown for $USPS. Although the Supreme Council had asked for the congress, $75 billion dollars to help with their financial losses, Republicans, led by Mnuchin had hesitated to that number. In his statement, presumably Williams Mnuchin “insisted that all the Republican nomination to the Board of Governors and Postal Regulatory Commission come to his office to kiss the ring and receive his blessing before confirmation.” Although Williams has had several officials privately to the concerns expressed before his testimony, he refused to speak publicly until it has not been given the opportunity to do so before the Congress. It ‘s rare that the post often by the public as one of the most popular political party and not the federal government under such a microscope. Part of the reason for its current position is President Trump, who has repeatedly attacked Post, is called a joke, and explained that he, the USPS would finance the first democratic election measures, because that the Agency funds would need to do to deal with an influx of email vote before the election. But Trump impulsiveness does not explain everything, according to experts at the USPS and postal union representatives. that the president in front of the headquarters lasted three and a half years, he has inherited an empty board of governors. For years, Congress had denied by candidate Barack Obama for the board because of power struggles on both sides of the aisle to confirm. Trump then the opportunity presented to the Board of Governors by a majority of members, many of whom are businessmen with ties to the vision of the Republican Party shared her reduction in coverage costs. “I had never heard of anything like that to be heard in the US government,” said James Sauber, chief of staff for the National Association of Letter Carriers, the Board of Governors empty. “It ‘was really extraordinary.” There are nine slots for the USPS Board of Governors allocated. They work in a capacity similar to jointly appoint a Minister of Post and Deputy Minister of Posts, a business card of a company. The council is intrinsically linked two parts. During a meeting President appoints members when vacancies can not be more than five members of the same party, and all candidates are subject to confirmation of the Congress. Members are elected to serve also elected seven years to ensure that their term of office by presidential administration takes at least. By 2014 there were fewer than six members of the board that the body lacked a quorum and was not meant to be able to perform key functions. But when Obama appointed seven people to fill these positions, according to a 2018 report by the Congressional Research Service, he received no say in the Senate. The opposition came from both sides of the aisle. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has put a hold on two nominations, James Miller and Mickey Barnett, who had been on the Board of Governors serve and had chosen to serve another term. Republicans placed in possession of features supported by the Democratic leadership candidates. Warren Gunnels, Sanders’ Staff Director says Miller and Barnett were selected in consultation with the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Sanders turned toward them, because they wanted to privatize against the German post office, and he tried to protect workers. “E ‘to say a total lie and a distortion of reality that Bernie Sanders, one of the strongest defenders of the US Postal Service to Congress, efforts Trump could destroy the mail. Along with the American Union of Postal Workers, AFL -what and the NAACP, Senator Sanders did everything two far-right Republicans, appointed to the post to prevent the Board of Governors, “Gunnels said in a statement. “These two Republicans wanted the postal service, jobs and privatize bar deceleration mail delivery.” McConnell’s office did not respond to requests for comment. By 2016, the Board of Governors except James Bilbray was a member whose term ended in December this year. At that time, Trump Office took place in January 2017, the Board was officially empty, offers a unique opportunity that has quickly taken. Of the six members of the Board is currently serving donated four Republican candidates, including Trump, and has served as officials of previous Republican administrations or political organizations, according to the analysis time for the political contributions and financial information. The other two members, Ron Bloom, a former member of the administration Obama and Donald Moak, given the Democratic members. (Williams was also seen as a democratic election until his retirement from). Blooms term, however, ends in December 2020 to give another opportunity Trump still appoint anyone to the board. As a result of these appointments, all of which were confirmed by voice vote in the Senate, the USPS Board of Governors had a quorum and could accommodate So again from August 2019. Its main tasks assigned, as the former Minister of Post Megan Brennan their intentions known this for retiring in October this year, the month, the board has been able to choose their successors. In May, he took DeJoy, the first person in this position is selected, had not come through the organization. Questions still abound about how exactly the Supreme Council opted for DeJoy. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Office was probing the trial, alleging that the Council maintained the most important information from Congress on the issue, including the administration’s participation. What is clear, however, is that the choice is DeJoy the result was a series of decisions that preceded the Trump administration. “It ‘clear, when it could have been the remains of experience there have been mixed results,” said Art Sackler, who runs the Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service, a mailing and shipping industry group. “Also with regard to the setting of the Minister of Posts.” Image Copyright
