The Postal Service is committed to ensuring a workplace that is free of discrimination and to fostering a climate in which all employees may participate, contribute, and grow to their fullest potential. We recognize and value our diverse workforce and are committed to fair treatment of all employees.

Harassment and disparate treatment based on actual or perceived sexual orientation or identity will not be permitted or condoned in the Postal Service. This policy does not alter current standards of conduct and dress for postal employees. All Postal Service employees have the responsibility to support this policy and to take appropriate steps to ensure a workplace free of discrimination against any person based on his or her sexual orientation or identity. Each of us should:

• Treat every co-worker, customer, and supplier with respect and dignity.
• Examine our attitudes and actions toward people who are different from ourselves.
• Speak out when we see harassment and discrimination in our work environment.
