Beat him at his own game.
A strike or even a threat of a strike would cause him and the Repug Senate to back off because of the outcry they'd hear from both the American Public and businesses that rely on the USPS.

(9,083 posts)I believe a strike would just play into Trump's hands. It would give him a cause to go after the union, while masking the result of DeJoy's actions. The people need to see what DeJoy has wrought with his reckless cutbacks and removal of automatic sorters.
I think the Postal Union needs to embark on a national ad campaign to bring their case before the American people and lay out what the Trump administration's dismantling of the USPS will mean to the people.
A strike would make it hard for the American public to determine what is the result of DeJoy's decisions vs. what is a result of the strike.

I make sure the workers know they are appreciated.
On my local neighborhood board people were giving the workers the Devil. One brave man told them they had Trump to blame. I added my bit by telling them to quit blaming the carriers and workers, to google what was really going on at the PostOffice. You are not supposed t9 be Political on a neighborhood board. After our 2 posts there were no more complaints.
The average person knows little about what is taking place. I never realized just how ignorant they are. And these are Educated people with little common sense.

(53,214 posts)how little so many people know and what they do know often comes from Fox News or social media. I can see how some uninformed people will instantly blame postal workers for the delays and problems, but in the end, every person in this country will in some way be affected by this insanity. Just like everyone will eventually be touched by COVID-19.
I don't know what more to do, than keep repeating the truth and hope it sinks in. And buy stamps!
