FIRST ON FOX:<\/strong> Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is proposing legislation<\/a> that would withhold bonuses for U.S. Postal Service executives, citing years of staggering financial losses for the agency and its overall on-time delivery record.<\/p>\n

In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital<\/a>, Hawley, who has launched an investigation into the Postal Service over its service record, announced the “No Bonuses for Bad Service Act.”<\/p>\n

The bill<\/a> would prohibit the USPS Board of Governors from approving any additional compensation for the Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General for a fiscal year in which the agency doesn’t meet or exceed an on-time delivery rate of 95% for all mail products.<\/p>\n

“While Missourians don\u2019t receive their mail on time, the Postmaster General receives a hefty bonus each year,” Hawley wrote in a statement to Fox News Digital. “I am introducing the No Bonuses for Bad Service Act to ensure postal service leadership isn\u2019t receiving bonuses while Americans\u2019 mail goes undelivered. It\u2019s time for the Postmaster General to do his job and put Americans first.”<\/p>\n

Over the past ten years, Postmasters General have received more than $2 million in additional compensation, even as delivery performance declined and the budget numbers got worse, according to Hawley’s office.<\/p>\n

Among the reasons cited by Hawley for the proposed bill are the agency’s $25 billion in financial losses over the past three fiscal years, which have coincided with an increase in postage rates<\/a> and a dip in on-time delivery.<\/p>\n

During the last three years of Louis DeJoy’s tenure as postmaster general, the Board of Governors approved more than $567,000 in bonuses, Hawley said. Current Postmaster General David Steiner, who assumed office in July 2025, has already received $170,000 in bonuses, he said.<\/p>\n

When Hawley confronted Steiner about the additional compensation during a June 24 hearing, Steiner said he doesn’t control the doling out of bonuses.<\/p>\n

“I am absolutely astounded at this today, general \u2026 and, frankly, if things don\u2019t get better, you ought to resign, because you\u2019re not doing the job. You\u2019re leaving your good postal workers out there. You\u2019re hanging them out to dry. They don\u2019t make near what you do. They\u2019re working their butts off, they\u2019re getting blamed, and you\u2019re getting the bonus. We have a big problem. Based on what I\u2019ve seen today, you\u2019re part of it,” Hawley said at the time.<\/p>\n

Residents in rural parts of Missouri sometimes wait weeks for their mail, Hawley said. In addition, a large pile of undelivered mail was found in April in a vacant lot in north St. Louis.<\/p>\n

“The pattern is clear: as service has gotten worse, the Postmaster General\u2019s pay has not,” Hawley said.<\/p>\n

Hawley was already investigating the Postal Service, accusing Steiner of ignoring congressional oversight<\/a> while demanding records on the agency’s use of outside restructuring consultants.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> has reached out to the postmaster general’s office for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
