Showing Original Post only (View all)Louis DeJoy crippling the US Postal Service by shutting down mail-sorting machines [View all]
This is Louis DeJoy. He is the huge Trump DONOR who Trump made the Postmaster General of the United States. He is trying to DESTROY the US Postal Service to help Trump steal an election.
We need to make him famous.
Louis DeJoy gave $2,000,000 to the Republican Party under Trump who rewarded him by making him the head of the Postal Service DESPITE NO EXPERIENCE AT THE POST OFFICE.
The first thing he did was CUT SERVICES & create a MASSIVE BACKLOG of mail delivery.
The cardinal rule is, dont delay the mail, and were in a 180-degree switch where were delaying mail every day, adding that if the system is not fixed before election season, its going to be a catastrophe.
THIS IS ON PURPOSE.
Louis DeJoys wife also works for Trump.
Trump has openly LIED for a long time that mail in voting is unsafe. There is NO EVIDENCE of this.
It is very clear that Trumps plan is to create suspicion around voting while DeJoy cripples mail delivery.
WE MUST STOP HIM.
Some of Louis DeJoy's changes which have crippled the US Postal Service:
- Shutting down mail-sorting machines so workers must do it by hand.
- Requiring letter carriers to LEAVE MAIL BEHIND to avoid extra trips.
- Prohibiting overtime pay.
This has created a massive backlog.

The waning junk mail? That's more likely due to the pandemic's economic downturn

Who's gonna stop them? So far, they've pretty much gotten away with everything.

USPS workers would be best to prioritize Voter Ballots as their job future might depend on it.
