HR 1559 United States House · 119th Congress

Postal Employee Appeal Rights Amendment Act of 2025

This bill amends federal law to expand appeal rights for certain postal employees to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). It specifically applies to postal workers in supervisory, professional, technical, clerical, administrative, or managerial roles who are not represented by a union under Section 1203 of federal labor law. The key change clarifies that these employees can now directly appeal personnel decisions (like discipline or termination) to the MSPB, rather than relying solely on internal postal processes. This modifies eligibility criteria for MSPB appeals under Title 39 of the U.S. Code.
