"Top Democrats on the House Oversight and Reform Committee have launched an investigation into Oshkosh Defense LLC, the company awarded a multibillion-dollar contract to replace the U.S. Postal Service’s aging fleet of vehicles.

In a letter sent last week, the lawmakers demanded the Wisconsin-based company produce documents related to its use of unionized labor and production of electric vehicles.

The lawmakers, led by committee Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), said they “have been made aware” that Oshkosh may be attempting to sidestep using its own unionized workforce by opening a new manufacturing facility in South Carolina, where it intends to build up to 165,000 new mail trucks."
