Now is the time to draw inspiration from wherever we can, and stand with workers while they fight the employer-led race to the bottom.

    You can have a vital postal service without paying postal workers $70,000/year to deliver junk mail door to door 5 days a week. Weekly delivery to community mailboxes plus supplemental home delivery for people with limited mobility would save a ton of money but it would mean laying off thousands of postal workers.

    This whole dispute isn’t about a vital service, it’s about a jobs program that is unjustifiable in the modern day.
