- Insightful report produced for industry.
Campaign
Carmen Group produced a substantive report regarding pension issues within the U.S. Postal Service and their effects on postal rates. The report was widely circulated and has been cited in subsequent government documents and used by multiple entities to press for postal reform.
Valassis Communications
A coalition of congressional and industry stakeholders passes legislation that addresses USPS pension over-funding, obviating the need for a proposed postal rate increase which would have significantly burdened commerce.
