Summary
Nationwide protests erupted as postal workers opposed plans to privatize the USPS and cut 10,000 jobs.
The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) organized rallies in over 200 cities, condemning the proposed merger with the Commerce Department and collaboration with Elon Musk’s DOGE.
Lawmakers like Senators Dick Durbin and Tina Smith joined demonstrations, calling the changes unconstitutional.
USPS employees fear losing jobs and essential public services, especially in rural areas. Trump and Musk defend privatization as efficient, but critics argue it endangers vital community functions.
