Postal Unions Rally Today

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Postal Unions Rally Today(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)The fate of the U.S. Postal Service is a major national issue affecting every American, every community, and every business. And with the future of the Postal Service at stake, all four postal unions – united as "Save America’s Postal Service" -- are joining together, along with their supporters in the labor movement, today at 4p with rallies in every Congressional district in the country, including a number in the metro Washington area (click here to locate the one nearest you). "We need to show our support for the women and men who work for America’s postal service," says Metro Council President Jos Williams. "We need to Save America’s Postal Service!" The rallies at 4p today – including those at Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton’s District office, Congressman Steny Hoyer’s office in Waldorf MD and Congresswoman Donna Edwards’ office in Suitland MD (plus more around the region) -- will support legislation that would restore financial stability to the Postal Service and oppose a bill that would strip union rights and essentially dismantle collective bargaining agreements between USPS management and postal unions.
