Saving Postal Jobs & Services From A Management Gone Postal
NYC's Community/Labor United for Postal Jobs & Services joined with postal workers to rally to save postal jobs and the services provided. The plan is to shut down 4,000 post offices, eliminate 223 which is half of the mail processing centers nationwide , end Saturday mail delivery and fire 220,000 postal workers. In N.Y.C. alone, Postmaster General Donahue wants to eliminate 34 post offices. There is no fiscal crisis that warrants these cuts, which will destroy the post office system. There is however, a Congressionally manufactured crisis caused by its imposition of onerous and unnecessary financial mandates on the Post Office. Unless we stop Congress, the public postal system will be destroyed and Wall Street will swoop down and sell it to corporate vultures.
