Community Labor United for Postal Jobs and Services Statement

Combined with the planned closures of hundreds of post offices, the reduction of hours, the sub-contracting of postal trucking, and the closing of half the processing plants, the elimination of Saturday delivery is a frontal attack on the largest unionized workforce in the United States.

Thirty percent of postal jobs are held by people of color. Veterans hold over 20%, and women over 40%, of postal positions.

Continued closings of processing plants and post offices economically undermine our communities and small businesses.  Not only are these living wage jobs threatened by privatization, but the world’s lowest postage rates and most efficient mail service would be at the mercy of for-profit corporations.

The sale of valuable and historic post office buildings being pushed by the Postal Service is yet another unnecessary scheme that will enrich the 1% and harm our communities.
