biden cannot directly fire him. dejoy's position is controlled by an appointed board of governors with 7-yr terms. Biden, it appears, has not done the max to ensure that new appointees are brought in or are people who would fire dejoy and strengthen the USPO. "Biden had the chance to nominate replacements for two governors whose terms ended in December. He failed to do that, so the board’s makeup is the same, with those governors serving in a “holdover year.” https://nwlaborpress.org/2023/05/postal-unions-to-biden-stop-stalling-and-fill-postal-board-vacancies/

Good info, have wondered how this idiot can keep his job.
Why doesn't Biden get rid of DeJoy?

BTW, VTs 2 congrssional reps were at the rally and no one in the media asked him your excellent question.
Why can't/won't the state legislature step in and do something about the post office? Surely it directly affects them as well.
Good question.
