Vol. 75/No. 34      September 26, 2011

Four postal workers unions are calling a September 27 day of action in response to cuts in mail service currently under consideration by Congress and the Postal Service management. The proposed attacks could lead to the closure of thousands of post offices, many in rural areas; layoffs of 120,000 workers; and cuts in wages and health and pension benefits. Rallies are planned from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. for every U.S. congressional district. Details will be posted and updated starting September 16 on a union web site: www.saveamericaspostalservice.org.
