October 1 Rally

For too long, postal workers have been stretched thin, making miracles happen in understaffed facilities. This has taken a toll on our health, our safety, and our ability to provide the service the public deserves. The Postal Service needs to listen to and heed the overwhelming voices of postal workers on the job and at the bargaining table, as well as the needs of the American people.

On October 1st, we will stand together and make our voices heard from coast to coast to demand that postal management listens to our voices. At stake is not just our jobs, but the fate of the People’s Post Office.

Our Demands:

1. Give Postal Workers and the Public a Voice: Last year, the Postal Board of Governors limited public comment periods in their hearings to just once a year. This isn’t acceptable. We’re demanding that the Board of Governors bring back the public comment period at every quarterly meeting, ensuring that postal workers and the public have a say in how the Postal Service is run.

2. Better Staffing and Better Service: The public deserves top-quality postal services, and that starts with investing in postal workers. We need management to commit to recruiting and retaining a dedicated workforce to ensure that every community gets the quality mail service they rely on.

3. Listen to Postal Workers at the Bargaining Table: Should management continue to stonewall us, we will not It’s time for them to recognize the value of our work and agree to a contract that meets our demands. We’re ready to take our fight from the bargaining table to the streets if necessary.
