USPS Rank-and-File Members Call for Mass Mobilization of Working Class to Oppose Illegal Firings


USPS letter carriers went on a wildcat strike in 1970.


On Sunday, the US Postal Service Workers Rank-and-File Committee, an affiliate of the International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees, held a well attended online meeting aimed at organizing mass action by the working class to defend the US Postal Service and oppose the mass firing of federal workers and gutting of essential services by President Donald Trump and his fascistic partner in crime, billionaire Elon Musk.

Over 150 people from around the world, including postal workers in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, participated in Sunday’s discussion. Participants discussed and adopted a resolution titled “Oppose the Mass Firing of Federal Workers and Defend Postal Jobs!” The resolution was overwhelmingly supported, with 99 percent of attendees voting in favor.

“If Trump’s conspiracy is to be defeated, and it can be, it must come through mass independent action from below by the working class.”


-edit-



Air Traffic Controllers went on a strike in 1981.
