Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against United States Postal Service
Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against United States Postal Service
United States Postal Service
A proposed class action lawsuit has been filed against the federal government agency for violating terms of the Privacy Act and distributing contact information of its employees to marketing partners. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of all employees and claims the United States Postal Service (USPS) allowed private businesses, as part of its Strategic Business Initiatives plan, to access and utilize its 'employee master file' that contains private information including home addresses of all career and non-career, full and part-time employees.
The complaint states the business initiatives plan allows private corporations to submit bids for co-branding agreements. Under these agreements the USPS logo is branded on various marketing materials and sent to the private residences of USPS employees.
