BUILDING BRIDGES: Postal Union Fights Trump Privatization Plan

[Omaha Steve]

Postal workers union leader warns USPS could be dead in three months and “Trump efforts to privatize it are an attack on a legal right of the people.”

with Jonathan Smith, the President of the New York Metro Area Postal Union, and a special message from actor/activist Danny Glover

We cannot allow Trump to use this horrific pandemic as an opportunity to bankrupt and privatize the Postal Service. Now, more than ever, we need a strong and vibrant postal system to deliver mail 6-days a week. Congress must act now to save it. Attacks on this institution are an attack on one of the most reliable public sector employers in the United States and with a unionized work force. USPS has been a place of employment for Black workers who have suffered from poverty and lack of opportunity due to systemic racism and obstacles in the private sector and have traditionally found well-paid and stable employment through the post office.
