The American Postal Workers Union has issued a special edition of its magazine American Postal Worker. As the APWU explains:
“Right after the March/April issue went to press, the public Postal Service, our jobs, and our union came under serious and unprecedented threat by the billionaire “Wall Street” class and the new presidential administration who are aggressively pushing to take over and dismantle the public Postal Service for their own private gains and profits. This is a threat unlike anything we’ve seen before, and it’s more important than ever that we fight back.
“The important information in this special edition cannot wait until the next regular cycle of our magazine. The time is urgent! Never in our modern history have postal workers and postal unions faced such wealthy and organized forces arrayed against us and the people’s right to universal public postal services, no matter who we are or where we live. The Postal Service belongs to the people, not the billionaires. “The U.S. Mail is Not for Sale!”
The special issue contains articles about what privatization would mean to postal workers; “talking points” about privatization; what you can do to join the fight; and a fact/myth page about the Postal Service.
The special issue is here.
