39 U.S.C. § 415 — Prohibition on restriction or elimination of services
submitted 28 years ago by Pub. L. 105-241 to r/title-39-POSTAL-SERVICE · 42 words · no verdicts yet
The Postal Service cannot restrict, eliminate, or otherwise hurt any of its services because it paid a penalty. That penalty is one imposed under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The law keeps OSHA fines and mail service completely separate.
This section is one rule with no lettered subsections.
The Postal Service sometimes has to pay a penalty for violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, a workplace-safety law found at 29 U.S.C. § 651 and the sections that follow it.
This section says the Postal Service cannot use that penalty as an excuse to restrict, eliminate, or otherwise hurt any service it provides. In other words, if the Postal Service is fined for an OSHA violation, it cannot respond by cutting mail routes, closing offices, or scaling back what it offers the public. Paying the penalty and providing postal service are kept separate: one cannot be used to justify cutting back the other.
The Postal Service may not restrict, eliminate, or adversely affect any service provided by the Postal Service as a result of the payment of any penalty imposed under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.).
