Postal Workers Protest Possible
Distribution Center Closing
(October 26, 2006)—Postal picketed the Highway 6 Post
Office Thursday in Waco in protest of a possible move of a
major mail distribution facility to either Austin or
Dallas.
The US Postal Service is still reviewing a study conducted
in January that will determine whether the distribution center
should be moved.
A spokesperson said earlier this week the study isn’t
finished and no decision has been made.
Members of the local Postal Workers Union say the plan
would result in “significant delays in mail delivery and pick
up times and the loss of Waco’s postmark.”
Postal officials weren’t allowing the picketers to pass out
flyers Thursday, although the protest was staged on public
property.
