US alliance opposes price hike through advert

The Affordable Mail Alliance has launched a print advertisement asking the US Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) to reject USPS’s demand to increase rates by close to ten times the rate of inflation.

“The Postal Regulatory Commission has only nineteen days left to reject this massive rate hike and in this print ad we’re asking them to do the right thing,” said Jerry Cerasale, Affordable Mail Alliance spokesperson and senior vice president of government affairs for the US Direct Marketing Association. “Our membership is doing everything in their power to get the message across that a rate increase would be bad for business, bad for the economy, bad for jobs and bad for the Postal Service itself.”

The Affordable Mail Alliance advert is a call to action to the PRC to send the Postal Service’s rate increase “back to sender.” It states: “The Postal service wants to raise postal rates ten times the rate of inflation. This is the wrong message to send a nation that desperately needs to stimulate economic growth.”

“Over 1,000 non-profits, local newspapers, successful companies and small business from across the country have a reason for joining this Alliance,” said Cerasale. “They know this unproductive and unlawful rate increase simply will not help the Postal Service and will hurt our economy and jobs.”
