Washington — President Biden announced his three nominees to join the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors on Wednesday, the first step for the board to potentially oust controversial Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. There are currently three vacancies on the nine-member board, and the six existing members were all appointed by former President Donald Trump.
Mr. Biden has chosen Anton Hajjar, the former general counsel of the American Postal Workers Union; Amber McReynolds, a voting rights activist and the CEO of the National Vote at Home Institute; and Ron Stroman, who recently retired as deputy postmaster general. If confirmed by the Senate, Democrats would have a majority on the board, which currently has four Republicans and two Democrats.
DeJoy appeared at a hearing before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday, where Democrats grilled him on the slowdown in mail deliveries over the summer, amid the coronavirus pandemic and an uptick in voting by mail ahead of the November election. DeJoy told members of the committee that his future plans for the agency may include slowing the delivery of first-class mail.

What was he involved with SINCE November ?
And even if he HAD nominated three, what do you think could have been accomplished by January 20 ?
The ones appointed by Trump are 4 R’s and 2 D’s. Suppose to be non-political...like the USSC....LOL

What?
A ‘forever’ stamp is an indicator of delivery speed.
Quite grumbling...none of this should jerk you so unless you failed to grasp the reality of the NOW.
I am sure they were nominated to ensure the continuance of problem free and fraud free mail in voting in future elections. /s
And you my friend are the reason we lose at every level. You look at this like a little deal like you did losing Georgia, losing the presidency. Perhaps you like losing.
Three morons hell bent on maintaining the corrupt, inefficient status quo.
What he did from November to January was complain. He should have nominated the three candidates. He knew the post office was being attacked by the left.
Changing board members isn’t going to do anything to fix the U.S. Post Office. The agency is swirling around the toilet and can only be saved by changes that require Congressional authorization ... which means the board has no effective function anyway.
I’ve done work in the last that was subject to approval by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board by law. The STB is supposed to have five members. At one time in Trump’s term in office they were down to just two members.
The U.S. Postal Service has racked up billions of dollars in excessive overtime from its workers over the last several years, even as its employee numbers have gone up and its mail delivery has declined, according to a new audit likely to raise questions about congressional Democrats' demands for a bailout.
Overtime pay has become so predominant at America's premier mail delivery service that more than 4,000 postal workers last year actually earned more in OT pay than their base pay, a 429% increase in highly compensated overtime earners since 2014, the agency's internal watchdog reported this week.
The situation exists in part because postal employees are allowed to determine their own overtime hours without needing prior management approval, and management does not always keep accurate payroll records, the audit report concluded.--snip--
I’m sure it’s useless. But now we can forget any of the positive improvements that Dejoy was doing.
Probably true. They do have one power. Firing the post master general. Not even Biden can do that.
I’m not sure what all those positive improvements have been. Perhaps it was on the financial side of the agency. I have found the U.S. Postal Service to be completely unreliable and barely functional.
