Postal Workers Nationwide Day of Action

Postal workers across over 90 cities in the U.S. held a 'Day of Action' to demand better staffing and improved service from the United States Postal Service (USPS). The rallies, organized by the American Postal Workers Union, addressed issues such as slow mail delivery, understaffing, and proposed changes by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy that could further delay mail, particularly affecting rural areas. Union leaders criticized DeJoy's 'Delivering for America' plan, which aims to cut costs but has led to significant service delays and increased workload for employees. Postal workers emphasized the importance of reliable service year-round, not just during election periods, and assured the public of their commitment to timely delivery of mail-in ballots. They also called for the reinstatement of public commentary at Postal Board of Governors meetings to better address community concerns.
