SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – Union postal workers are speaking out with their paychecks in limbo. A postal union spokesperson says four of their unionized USPS employees have been removed from their work schedules indefinitely.
According to APWU Local 133 Vice President Tim Holstein, four of their employees received letters stating:
“This letter is to inform you that, due to the needs of this facility, you will not be scheduled to work effective Saturday 5/4/2024 until further notice. If you have any questions feel free to contact your supervisor. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
The USPS announced last month that they are investing $23 million to modernize the Charleston Processing and Distribution Center into a Local Processing Center. But while the plan was under review, the USPS said that jobs could be born created and eliminated.
