The agency brief
What this U.S. agency structure tells us
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is an independent establishment of the executive branch created by the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970. It is led operationally by the Postmaster General, who serves as chief executive officer and is appointed by the Board of Governors. USPS combines nationwide service obligations with enterprise-style divisional operations, including retail and delivery, logistics and processing, technology, finance, and commerce solutions. Structurally distinctive features include universal service to every U.S. address, extensive collective bargaining under the National Labor Relations Act, and an internal federal law-enforcement arm—the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. The mission is to bind the Nation together by providing prompt, reliable, and efficient postal services to all communities.
