Dozens of members of the American Postal Workers Union staged a demonstration in Denver to show their commitment to handling mail-in election ballots and to advocate for a fair contract. The union’s contract with the U.S. Postal Service expired recently, with negotiations ongoing. The workers emphasized their dedication to ensuring every vote is counted accurately and pushed for sufficient staffing levels to prevent delays and long lines at post offices. They addressed concerns raised by former President Trump about the integrity of mail-in ballots, emphasizing their professionalism and dedication to their work. The workers also expressed frustrations about service cuts and the consolidation of processing centers that could potentially impact mail delivery. The demonstration aimed to raise awareness about the importance of postal workers in processing election mail and to garner support for their contract negotiations. As the 2024 election approaches, the union is focused on ensuring a smooth voting process and advocating for the rights and benefits of its members.
