Local U.S. Postal Service carriers are not happy with a contract they’ve been offered, so they are planning a public protest in downtown Kent at noon Nov. 11.
Organizer Jason Wolfe, a Kent mail carrier himself, said colleagues from Streetsboro, Stow, Cuyahoga Falls, Medina and Boardman will be present, as will USPS clerks and possibly truck drivers.
The protest, meant to raise public awareness about what Wolfe characterized as a poor contract offer, will take place at the intersection of Main Street and Franklin Avenue in Kent.
Participants are being asked not to wear their uniforms because USPS employees are not permitted to protest in their uniforms.
