Still Among Us

The health crisis is no joke. Postal workers have succumbed to the microscopic killer. Civil unrest over injustices, postal finances, concerns over the new Postmaster General and privatization all make it seem like the pandemic has waned – it has not!
The USPS disbanded their COVID-19 Response Command and reduced field telecoms. Yet, the union continues to deal with fear, anger, anxiety and dangers of managerial indifference to the protections essential workers require. There is no magic wand to make managers comply. We use the tools available to us. While there are some decent, level-headed managers, there is plenty of managerial foolery to deal with.
