John RESPOND NOW: Do you trust Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to protect postal workers?
John, this past July was the hottest month ever recorded. And it's no secret why: Climate change is fueling record-breaking heat waves all around the world.
President Biden has taken bold steps to help us combat the climate crisis, but experts warn that these rising temperatures are only going to become more common.
Despite that, Louis DeJoy's U.S. Postal Service is still forcing postal workers to deliver mail in these dangerous temperatures without critical protections. In 2017, 70% of their vehicles still didn't have air conditioning. And many mail carriers do their route on foot, carrying heavy bags!
Louis DeJoy already tried to stop the USPS from electrifying their fleet of delivery vehicles. Now, we're seriously worried that he'll fail to protect our postal workers. It’s no wonder the U.S. Postal Service is losing a whopping 59% of its early tenure employees per year, and some remaining workers are protesting the understaffing.
USPS employees work so hard to deliver our mail – they deserve workplace protections. So please, respond to our live poll before midnight to make your voice heard. Tell us:
Do you trust Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to protect postal workers?
