Postal service workers take message to the streets

The U.S. Postal Service did not deliver mail today, but some workers took to the streets of South Mississippi to deliver an important message to our nation’s lawmakers: “U.S. Mail is not for Sale.”

More than a dozen U.S. Postal Service workers took to the sidewalk running along Popps Ferry Road in Biloxi, armed with signs making the message clear: they do not want U.S. senators and congressmen to go along with the White House administration’s proposal to sell the government run U.S. postal service to a private corporation.

If the post office is privatized it will adversely affect thousands of workers, including those in South Mississippi, as well as customers.

There are currently two resolutions: one in front of the U.S. Senate, the other before the U.S. House of Representatives, which would stop the White House administration’s move to privatize the U.S. Postal Service.

Collin and others are urging Mississippi lawmakers to vote for these measures.
