Win Respect for Postal Workers

Campaign for Dignity and Respect: Stand up For Safe Jobs

Postal workers are essential workers who keep our mail moving. Whether it’s a birthday card or life-saving medications, we move millions of pieces of mail from one end of the country to another. Often unseen, we are proud of our work to bind the country together.

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 hurts postal workers and our communities.

For far too long, the Postal Service’s leadership has failed to promote a healthy workplace environment.

The culture of bullying and toxicity from managers has created a hostile work environment that makes workers’ lives miserable, hurts everyone’s morale, and, too often, forces dedicated workers out of the service.

On Workers Memorial Day, postal workers across the country began a campaign to demand dignity, respect, and adequate staffing to get the job done.

The culture of bullying and toxicity from managers has created a hostile work environment that makes workers’ lives miserable, hurts everyone’s morale, and, too often, forces dedicated workers out of the service.

We are saying “Enough is enough!” and taking action together to demand Dignity and Respect from postal management. It’s time to end the short-staffing crisis, stop management’s toxic practices, and keep delivering a strong public Postal Service.
