US Mail Is Not For Sale! Stop Post Office Privatization Rally In Oakland, CA
Bay area postal workers rallied in Oakland at the US Federal building to oppose the sell off of the US mail and full privatization. They talked about how postal workers will be affected as well as the public.
As part of a national day of protests, postal workers from NALC, APWU and other postal unions and supporters of a public post office rallied on October 8, 2018 in Oakland, California to oppose the sell off of the post office by the Trump administration. Many post offices have already been sold off by the Obama administration including the Washington DC former post office which is now a Trump hotel.
Postal workers talked about how privatization would harm working people and the public as the most profitable parts of the post office would be sold off. They also discussed how this would effect veterans and other workers.
There were protests at many post offices throughout the country to organize support for a public post office.
