USPS Protests Erupt Over Privatization Plans
Nationwide protests erupted Sunday, organized by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), opposing potential privatization or restructuring of the United States Postal Service (USPS). These actions follow plans by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to cut 10,000 jobs and collaboration with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, sparking concerns about service disruptions and job losses. Lawmakers joined the rallies, denouncing the proposals as unconstitutional and detrimental to the American public, particularly those in rural areas. The NALC emphasized the USPS’s constitutional mandate and its critical role in the national economy.
