BOSTON – Today, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) testified at the Boston City Council’s public hearing to discuss inadequate delivery services by the United States Postal Service (USPS) throughout Boston neighborhoods. The USPS declined to join the hearing.
Recently, Rep. Pressley joined the Massachusetts Congressional Delegation on a letter urging the USPS to re-open postal facilities and improve service, spotlighting a larger statewide problem with postal service in Massachusetts. Last week, Rep. Pressley rallied with postal workers from the American Postal Workers Union to sound the alarm about the USPS’ failures and to demand first-class service year-round.
Responsive to concerns she raised, the USPS Inspector General recently announced an audit to evaluate the efficiency at the Boston Processing and Distribution Center, and Congresswoman Pressley is encouraging constituents who have experienced postal issues to contact her office so their concerns can be included in the audit.
A transcript of her testimony is available below and full video is available here.
