Dear Editor,
Donald Trump wants to merge the U.S. Postal Service with the Dept. of Commerce. This action will get him one step closer to privatization of the postal service, which could lead to the erosion of universal service, increased costs, and potentially harm vulnerable populations who rely on the post office for essential deliveries like mail-in ballots and prescriptions.
The National Association of Letter Carriers is holding nationwide rallies on March 23. 204 Main St., Brattleboro, at 3 p.m. is Vermont’s location.
“Local rallies nationwide will bring together NALC members and the public to show their support for letter carriers, all postal employees, and the Postal Service,” NALC President Brian L. Renfroe said. “At a crucial time, this is an opportunity to educate our customers about everything at stake if the Postal Service is privatized or restructured… We need everyone’s help in our fight like hell against these attacks.
More information can be found at NALC.org.
