USPS Feeling the Heat After Allegedly Breaking Federal Law to Help Clinton

INJOAccording to a report by the Office of Special Counsel, the U.S. Postal Service violated federal law by allowing employees do union-funded work for Hillary Clinton's campaign while they were on leave from work.

Fox News reports the OSC found postal workers had “engaged in systemic violations” of the Hatch Act, the federal law that puts limits on political activities for federal employees.

The OSC launched the investigation after Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) told the OSC about complaints he had received from people in Wisconsin about the violations.

The violations were originally reported by a postal worker. The worker reported other postal employees had “incurred unnecessary overtime costs” and “improperly coordinated” with the National Association of Letter Carriers. Reportedly, the NALC released members for weeks of “union official” leave without pay in order to conduct campaign work for the Democrats.
