The postal workers of southern Pennsylvania declare the formation of a rank-and-file committee in solidarity with all postal workers in the United States and around the world. We are in solidarity with all workers who confront dangerous speed-up, the absence of safety on the jobs, attacks on our pay and benefits.
We call for a struggle that unifies all postal workers with workers in the parallel, privatized delivery services—UPS, FedEx, Amazon and others—as well as with workers in manufacturing, office and clerical work, and every other industry, in the United States and internationally.
The postal service—a product of the American Revolution—has been systematically bled over decades by both Democratic and Republican parties. We have been forced to operate like a profit-making company despite the clear intention by the Founding Fathers to have the mail system as a universal right to all in the name of having an informed society able to fight back against tyranny.
