Last week, WSWS reporters spoke with Tour 2 and Tour 3 workers outside the Morgan Processing and Distribution Center in New York City about the death of a fellow postal worker. The worker has now been identified as Lucy Diaz, who died on November 6 while working Tour 1.
No facility-wide notification or explanation was issued following Diaz’s death, forcing workers to piece together information through word of mouth and private social media posts. Diaz was a sorter with 28 years of service. She operated the Automated Package Processing System (APPS) machine.
Diaz’s death occurred inside one of the largest facilities operated by the United States Postal Service, a major processing hub serving the New York metropolitan area, including Wall Street and surrounding financial districts.
