Postal Workers Are Essential Workers
(This article first appeared in the March/April 2021 issue of the American Postal Worker magazine)
I hope this article finds everyone safe, healthy, and if impacted by COVID-19, recovering. I do not remember a time since I was hired into the Post Office more fraught with concerns. Our comfort zone as Americans is forever altered. We fought numerous campaigns to prevent the elimination of the Postal Service, but now we are literally fighting for our lives.
At the Regional level we are in constant contact with the Areas, getting updated information on an ongoing basis, ensuring that locals are notified and offices are properly cleaned when there is an exposure.
