Stop Cuts, Closures, Displacement of Postal Workers !
Postmaster General DeJoy’s “Delivering for America” plan now includes consolidating letter carriers into massive Sorting and Delivery Center hubs, forcing long commutes and travel times while eliminating clerk, trucker and supervisor positions and reducing service or closing local post offices.
Evergreen Post Office (Beaverton) has been chosen to become a Sorting and Delivery Center in 2024, receiving hundreds of letter carriers, displaced from neighborhood post offices ("spokes") across Portland and Washington County. Salem, Eugene/Springfield, and Medford will also get massive S&DC hubs, displacing carriers from "spoke" offices.
We demand a community hearing, led by local elected officials, Senators and Congress people, with representatives of the US Postal Service, to answer our concerns and questions about this Sorting and Delivery Center - Spoke consolidation and it's impact on jobs and service.
