Letter from USPS | One Big Beautiful Bill Act Overtime Deductions

Good afternoon all,

Please see the below message from APWU Director of Industrial Relations Charlie Cash.

Read the Full Executive Order Here

President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order granting the employees of the Executive Departments and Agencies Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas as holidays.

As it has been in the past when US Presidents declare holidays or special days, the Postal Service has informed us they will not be honoring these days as they state the Postal Service is neither an executive department nor agency so the order does not apply. 

This is the same way that the Postal Service applied the holiday declared by President Biden for the first Juneteenth holiday, President Obama did in 2014 for the day after Christmas, and how President Trump declared Christmas Eve as a holiday in 2019 and 2020. These days were not recognized by the Postal Service and the USPS remained open. 

Thank-you,

Charlie Cash
