On Tuesday, Join the #SaveThePostOffice Day of Action

On Tuesday, postal workers and other union members will take action across America with one clear message – #SaveThePostOffice.

In mid-July, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy implemented policies that slowed down and delayed the mail, including arbitrarily canceling overtime and limiting mail transportation runs. Mobilization by postal union workers, public outcry, and hearings called by the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee resulted in a temporary suspension of those policies, but the threat to mail service remains high.

Postal workers are making three immediate demands of our elected officials and of Postmaster General DeJoy:

• Provide at least $25 billion in immediate support for the Postal Service.
• Permanently end the mail slowdown policies introduced by Postmaster General DeJoy.
• Ensure public confidence in voting-by-mail by providing all necessary resources to ensure the most timely delivery of election mail possible.

What You Can Do:

The House of Representatives will be returning from August recess to vote on a bill that would provide $25 billion in financial relief to the Postal Service. Call 844-477-7651 to tell your Representative to vote Yes.

Show your support and solidarity on Tuesday, August 25. Join the day of action by sharing stories and pictures demonstrating what the USPS means to you, and post them on social media using the hashtags #SaveThePostOffice and #ProtectOurVote. And tag @CWAUnion so we can share them too!
