@RandPaul Corporate ghouls like Rand Paul only care about the Post Office to kill it.

Selling off the Post Office would raise prices and eliminate service to millions of rural Americans, including Paul's own constituents in Kentucky.

The White House wants USPS to have  the power to decide who gets a mail ballot — and to refuse delivery to voters who don't make the list. That's not our job, and it's not USPS's call to make. Rural voters, voters with disabilities, and anyone who relies on mail to cast a ballot stand to lose the most.Comments close Thursday, July 2 at 5pm ET. Submit one now: https://t.co/yAjJ6HMJto

Pres. Smith on 4th death at Palmetto facility: “I'm not blaming [USPS] for the death, but I'm blaming them for their response because the quicker we can get an individual help, the better their chances are of survival, and what they have in place right now...is unacceptable.”

While many Black Americans have celebrated Juneteenth in some form for decades, the APWU is proud to have been one of the first unions to negotiate the day as a holiday at the USPS and honor June 19 as a paid holiday for postal workers.

America's union letter carriers, mail handlers and postal workers get the job done.

@HawleyMO We know how this goes: gut the workforce, and service breaks.

Then, it’s much easier to sell our Postal Service for profit. Cost of delivery skyrockets, and universal service becomes a thing of the past.

That’s the opposite of bold leadership.

Today, two of the President's Nominees to the Postal Board of Governors go before the Senate for confirmation. The BoG has hiring and firing power for the Postmaster General, and decides where the Post Office is headed.

Today matters for the over 300 Million Customers of USPS - we're tweeting about it here. Follow along 🧵

@HawleyMO Senator Paul: "A big part of the cost of delivering the mail is labor cost."

Gallo: "It's crazy. And why I think it's fixable [...] obviously the workforce at over 600,000 people is too high. Trimming around the corners isn't going to do it."

Paul: "So be bold"

The Post Office isn't a struggling company to be cut down for profit. It's a promise to deliver to every address in America, no matter how far out. We want Governors who'll protect and improve service, not run the place like a balance sheet.

One of today's nominees, Jeffrey Brodsky, has spent his career advising troubled companies, often through layoffs and shutdowns. In one case his firm helped close 80 locations and lay off 4,000 workers.
