Employees who find themselves in this situation can request an advance in pay. You have to make the reuest of your Postmaster, Supervisor, or MDO.

On
October 08, 2018, the APWU, NALC and NPMHU joined forced to hold
informational rallies accross the country. The goals was to
educate the public on the Trump Administration's plans to privatize
the US Postal Service. While privatization advocates tout
European models of for-profit corporations performing postal
operations, they fail to mention that privatized postal complanies
charge much more than USPS and, generally, provide poorer quality
service.
