Actually, the USPS is an independent agency of the US Government.
"Independent Agency" means only that it does not fall under any of the
cabinet departments. Like many other agencies (for example, the US
Patent Office from which I just retired), it does not rely on federal
tax moneys for its operation. It is still most definitely part of the US
Government, and its employees are federal employees, with full transfer
rights of seniority and retirement to and from other agencies and
departments.
