Political Activity on Duty

• The Hatch Act prohibits a Postal Service employee from engaging in political activity while on duty; while wearing a badge, uniform, or other insignia; while in a postal or Government building; or while in postal vehicle or using a privately-owned vehicle in the discharge of official duties.

Engaging in political activity while on duty will offend many of our customers and affect their shipping decisions.

Refraining from conduct that will offend our customers and violate the Hatch Act is smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) for more information about the Hatch Act.
