EXCERPT...
But recent developments show that Trumps efforts to reshape the USPS are gaining traction. Every member of the agencys bipartisan governing board is a Trump appointee. Democratic vice chairman David Williams resigned April 30, fed up with Trumps approach to the agency, according to people familiar with his thinking.
And last week, the panel announced that it has tapped Louis DeJoy, the finance chairman of the 2020 Republican National Convention, as the new postmaster general.
Also, Deputy Postmaster General Ronald A. Stroman submitted his resignation on May 8. Stroman had years of experience working with congressional Democrats and had become the agency point man on vote-by-mail initiatives for the November election. Stroman did not respond to a request for comment.
The postmaster general and deputy postmaster general also sit on the board, but do not vote on postal rates or personnel matters. Trump and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin have sought to attach terms to a $10 billion emergency loan to the USPS that would allow the administration to dictate package prices, review and alter bulk-discount contracts known as negotiated service agreements (NSAs), appoint the next postmaster general and direct negotiations with labor unions.
