Postmaster General Louis DeJoy was caught on tape praising public sector unions and asking for these unionized “comrades” to celebrate him over his hiring plan, according to a recent report.
Reporter Matthew Foldi first revealed the leaked audio clip in a Substack report last week. The audio was reportedly recorded during DeJoy’s remarks at the October Mailers Technical Advisory Committee (MTAC) meeting, where he went on to praise unions and advocate for greater “insourcing” for the unionized postal workforce.
“Getting rid of all that, bringing a lot of stuff in house… For a unionized operation, which we are, right, 100 percent unionized, that has successfully––I wouldn’t say successfully––but has outsourced a lot of operations. Alright? We’re probably going to do the biggest insourcing ever in America, in terms of what we’re doing,” DeJoy said at the meeting. “I was actually with our supervisors union yesterday. I said, ‘Comrades, how come you’re not celebrating me?’”
