As service problems mount with late mail delivery and long lines at post offices, the crisis of understaffing can no longer be blamed solely on the pandemic.  “Non-career” postal workers (CCAs, PSEs, MHAs, RCAs) are leaving in droves for better jobs – better wages, benefits and conditions. 

 

As of May 24, the postal service has finally begun to convert numbers of “non-career” workers to higher paid, better benefit “career” status and begun to hire directly to “career” in some cities.  But not enough!  In some major cities where staffing is so bad that whole routes are not being delivered on a daily basis – New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, LA, Portland, etc.— only “non-career” positions are open… and very few people are applying.  It’s time to hire to “career” everywhere !

 

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy must go! His Ten-Year Plan is slowing the mail, raising prices, cutting and closing postal facilities, outsourcing postal work, paving the way for privatization of the US Postal Service.

 

We must protect vote-by-mail.  We must protect the timely delivery of medicines, legal papers, and parcels.  We must protect our vulnerable communities who depend on reliable postal service - seniors, veterans, rural and low-income residents, small businesses.
