Postal

Carmen Group specializes in consulting on the interests of Postal stakeholders and lobbying on critical industry issues. We have represented mailer interests for nearly a decade, beginning with the postal reform debate in Congress. We regularly work with U.S. Postal Service officials, members of the USPS Board of Governors, members of the Postal Regulatory Commission, and mailer and postal labor stakeholders and their associations. We have helped our clients achieve success in the areas of managing price adjustments, Negotiated Service Agreements, Civil Service Retirement System pension liability, labor policy changes that benefit both industry and the unions, and rate flexibility.

Carmen Group uses our policy expertise and understanding of the legislative and administrative process to pursue specific legislative and regulatory objectives on behalf of our clients. By developing a strategic plan in coordination with our clients, we determine lobbying goals to achieve through Congress, the White House and the U.S. Postal Service.

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.
