Local hunger strikers to protest
Congress starving the USPS
Three local members of the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) will stage a hunger strike in Washington state June 25 through 28, in solidarity with their fellow unionists and community activists in Washington, D.C. and other locations throughout the nation. The local APWU hunger strikers, Clint Burelson from Olympia, Anthony Foster from Tacoma, and David Yao from Seattle, contend that U.S. Postal Service cuts are a direct result of a 2006 law that pumps more than $5 billion per year from USPS coffers into the Federal Treasury. They say Congress is responsible for its failure to reverse that law.
Labor and community supporters of the hunger strikers are invited to join them as they carry out public protests across the state. . .

A worthy event indeed. I will come by on my lunch hour to stand with postal workers.
ReplyDeleteAt this time of record high employment, what kind of sense does it make to kill the postal system and increase those numbers?
I attended this event on my lunch hour and was shocked at how many folks in Shelton have/had no idea what is going on with the post office. That liberal media must be falling down on its job...
