Publication 553, Employee’s Guide to Understanding, Preventing, and Reporting Harassment (December 2008), has been revised consistent with changes in rules and regulations and to reiterate the Postal Service™ policy of providing a work environment free of all forms of harassment. The publication includes a letter from Postmaster General John E. Potter that states, “…the only way to achieve a workplace free of harassment and inappropriate behavior is to make sure everyone knows what it is, what to do if it happens, and how to prevent it.”
