To all postal workers, retirees and the communities we serve:
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is under the most serious attack in its 250-year history. Under the pretext of a manufactured financial crisis, Postmaster General David Steiner, Congress and the Trump administration are preparing to slash jobs, cut services and end USPS’s existence as a public service—putting it instead at the beck and call of corporate America.
In fact, cuts to the post office have gone on for decades, and workers are bearing the cost with their lives. Four workers have died at the Palmetto Regional Processing and Distribution Center in the past two years. The most recent is Demarcus Little, a 45-year-old father of two, who told a supervisor he was not feeling well, collapsed and died.
We urge our coworkers to support his family and friends during this very difficult time.
These were not simply tragic accidents but the lethal results of austerity. Preventing them requires an organized movement from below, not beholden to management, toothless regulatory agencies or corrupt union officials. The USPS Workers Rank-and-File Committee was formed and is fighting to prepare the ground for such a movement.
The first step is that every postal worker needs to know what is taking place.
My brother and sister postal workers should click on the wsws link to the full article and sign up for the rank-and-file meeting being held this Sunday, 3 pm Eastern.
Congratulations to all those in the postal service who continue to support the very politicians who openly support the cutting of postal services and jobs!., you got what you voted for as a result of your willful ignorance.,
