• The Hatch Act prohibits a Postal Service employee from soliciting, accepting, or receiving political contributions at all times, even using a personal email account or social media account.
• You just can’t do it. Ever.

Media stories about postal employees violating the Hatch Act undermine the public’s trust and confidence in the Postal Service.

Customers ship with us because they trust us. Maintaining the public’s trust is smart business.
