Politics on Social Media

Do Not Touch

Postal Service employees cannot engage in political activity while on duty, on postal or Federal property, or while wearing a uniform or badge.

This includes posting, sharing, reposting, or even liking partisan political content.

If you see partisan political posts on social media at work, even if you are on a break, ignore them.  It is not worth facing corrective action, or even removal.

Keeping politics out of the workplace is smart business.
