Nationwide Postal Workers Rally Against DOGE's USPS Job Cuts

Nationwide protests have erupted among postal workers and supporters against proposed cuts to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), which aim to eliminate 10,000 jobs and slash billions from its budget as part of a collaboration with Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Demonstrators argue that these plans threaten to undermine the integrity of the USPS, potentially leading to privatization and reduced service, especially in rural areas. Union representatives express concerns that the cuts will harm not only workers but also the millions of Americans who rely on the postal service for essential deliveries. Critics, including Democratic lawmakers, warn that this move could exacerbate challenges for communities dependent on postal services. The protests, which have taken place in multiple cities, highlight fears that privatization would eliminate well-paying jobs and disrupt the essential function of the USPS. Union leaders emphasize their commitment to fighting against any measures that threaten workers' rights and the quality of service provided to the public.
