October 1st - Postal Workers are Taking Action!

For years, postal workers have been pulling off miracles to keep the mail moving. We deserve a job where we can show up, safely do our work, and clock out knowing that we’ve contributed to the postal mission. But a vicious cycle of short staffing and a toxic work culture is hurting postal workers and the communities we serve. This is reaching a crisis-point and enough is enough - that’s why we are taking action.

On October 1, postal workers and allies across the country will take action to demand dignity, respect, and adequate staffing to get the job done. We're taking our fight to the streets - will you join us? Take action with us on October 1st! We demand more from USPS for our jobs and our communities.
