Washington (PAI) – The Postal Workers have launched a campaign against yet another mail slowdown plan from Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a GOP big giver whom Donald Trump imposed the U.S. Postal Service some four and a half years ago.
DeJoy presented his plan to the USPS board at an open meeting in early November, the only one, under new rules for such sessions, where the public and postal union members may attend. It was not clear if they were allowed to speak then.
DeJoy’s prime goal, which he buried in his speech, was to save money – $3.6 billion to $3.7 billion yearly. What he didn’t openly admit is those savings would sacrifice service.
But the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) got wind of his scheme and is blowing a loud horn against it, the second time it’s had to mobilize the masses against DeJoy’s cutbacks.
