Last week, Link offered you another reminder about the Hatch Act, the law that governs the political activity of all federal government employees.
Under one provision of the law, employees are permitted to wear nonpartisan stickers and buttons urging people to vote, but wearing partisan political apparel is not allowed.
We also told you about Login.gov, a secure service that employees will need to make changes or enroll in the Postal Service Health Benefits Program; the organization’s participation in a White House initiative to save lives from drug overdoses; and a video message encouraging employees to participate in the Combined Federal Campaign.
With the World Series underway, Link also shared some facts about Hank Aaron, one of the Postal Service’s newest stamp subjects.
Additionally, we introduced you to Washington, NC, Postmaster Patricia Green, who organized a successful job fair at the local Post Office, and Adam Benincosa, a Roy, UT, letter carrier who came to the aid of Sherry Jarvis, a customer who was stranded for hours after falling while gardening.
“I was weeding, and I went to pull out this big weed. Well, the weed won,” Jarvis later told a local radio station.
