It\u2019s easy to click on website to make a purchase, but to deliver packages to every possible address in America \u2014 no matter how distant \u2014 thousands of companies and tens of millions of consumers depend on hard work of the women and men of the U.S. Postal Service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Donald Trump signed an executive order in April 2018 convening a task force to evaluate the U.S. postal system to make it more financially solvent. Among the intended re-evaluations was the USPS \u201cuniversal service obligation,\u201d which stipulates that all packages and parcels are priced the same regardless of their origin and intended destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June, the Trump administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/2018\/06\/21\/whats-inside-trumps-major-government-overhaul\/\" target=_blank>released a government reorganization proposal<\/a> that would prepare USPS for eventual conversion to a private entity and anticipated that the task force would issue a report on improving the postal service in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Union spokesman Jamie Horowitz told Federal Times that the union\u2019s members aren\u2019t going to wait for that report to come out to oppose the potential changes to USPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protest attendees, numbering around 2,000, chanted \u201cU.S. mail is not for sale\u201d while holding up signs in opposition of privatization and in support of the union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe cannot allow Donald Trump to privatize the Postal Service,\u201d Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said at the AWPU convention prior to the protest. He added that he plans to introduce legislation to block the effort to privatize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will stand up, fight back and defeat Trump\u2019s disastrous plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pennsylvania Rep. Connor Lamb also spoke against the potential privatization of USPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Postal Service is the most popular agency of the United States government, by far. I can tell you, people love you guys,\u201d said Lamb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe seniors in my district, they need you to get their medication on time. The young people who are trying to start businesses [across my district], they need you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The APWU protest was supported by other unions \u2014 including the American Federation of Government Employees; the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America; and the Pennsylvania State Association of Letter Carriers \u2014 who stressed the importance of unions standing together in opposition of the potential change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the American Postal Workers Union voiced opposition to
