Washington, D.C. — In a landmark move to modernize federal services, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced the full rollout of the federal government’s first-ever fully digital retirement application system.
After 35+ years of failed modernization attempts, OPM has announced that, as of June 2, they are replacing their 65+ year old paper process with an all digital alternative.
The NPMHU will remain cautious and vigilant and is prepared to fight against any ill-conceived attempts by DOGE to dismantle this American institution.
Common sense solutions are what the Postal Service needs, not privatization efforts that will threaten 640,000 postal employees’ jobs, 7.9 million jobs tied to our work, and the universal service every American relies on daily.
This is a threat unlike anything we’ve seen before, and it’s more important than ever that we fight back.
