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
