The Human Toll Of Radical Republicans' War On The Post Office
Donald Trump calls U.S. Postal Service workers “great” as he actively tries to tank the 225-year-old institution. Mail handler Dwight Burnside and co-workers don’t believe the president thinks much of them at all.
“Most of the people on the floor just don’t feel appreciated,” said Burnside. He works at the Merrifield (Va.) Processing and Distribution Center. “They just don’t feel like the current administration genuinely understands what we’re doing and how important the work that we’re doing is to the country.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has killed more than 60 Postal Service workers nationwide. Some 3,800 Postal Service workers have either tested positive or shown signs of the coronavirus. Since January about 25,000 Postal Service workers have been quarantined.
