Mail Aid
by
Pam Amado and Carl Imboden

This is a rotten time to be a postal worker. Electronic communication is diminishing our mail stream while our managers attempt to outsource and automate our jobs. What we need is Mail Aid, an increase in the mail stream that simultaneously provides us with more work and slows our society's rush to a paperless world. In the absence of any rock stars to hold a Mail Aid concert, we'll have to create the change ourselves through the way we interact with the Post Office as consumers. Your purchasing power could save some postal worker his job--it might even save your job--so please carefully consider some questions about your spending habits.

Hello, Dear Reader.

You've probably received this letter because you know a postal worker. It's a bad time to work for the United States Postal Service (USPS), because electronic communication and a downsliding economy are reducing the mail stream while postal managers simultaneously scheme to replace us with machines. They'll even use machines that don't deliver mail as well as we do, provided the machine is cheaper than we are.

Video of the Week

Walmart Workers for Change is fighting to give Walmart workers a real chance for representation in the workplace, without the company’s usual threats and harassment. Watch our new Walmart worker documentary, we think you will agree: the working folks at Walmart are not getting a fair shake from the corporate offices in Bentonville. Without your help, the conditions at Walmart are likely to stay the same, anti-worker, anti-family, and simply un-American. These workers need your support to affect real change at Walmart. Let them know you’ve got their backs.

On Sunday, May 17, 2009, over 200 workers and their families marched in Jacksonville, FL to support passage of The Employee Free Choice Act, and to protest the CUE's (Coalition for a Union-Free Work Environment) national meeting there. Here is a video account of that event.

According to CEOs and their front groups, the fabric of our nation may well fall apart, all because of the Employee Free Choice Act. In reality, the Employee Free Choice Act is a bipartisan, common sense economic recovery for working families that will pump billions into our nation's economy.
