A major union representing U.S. postal workers endorsed Democrat Joe Biden, a move that comes after President Trump acknowledged he was starving the postal service of money in order to make it more difficult to vote by mail in November’s election
A major union representing U.S. postal workers has endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president, a move that comes as President Trump has acknowledged starving the postal service of money in order to make it more difficult to vote by mail in November’s election.
The National Assn. of Letter Carriers, which represents 300,000 current and retired workers, said Thursday that Trump has long been hostile to the post office. His administration has called for an end to collective bargaining rights, proposed service cuts and has eyed the possibility of privatizing the functions of the agency.
But those actions have escalated since the start of the pandemic, with the administration taking “steps outside of the public eye to undermine the Postal Service and letter carriers,” union President Fredric Rolando said. Biden, on the other hand, “is — was — and will continue to be — a fierce ally and defender of the United States Postal Service,” Rolando said in a statement announcing the endorsement of the former vice president and his running mate, Kamala Harris.Trump has repeatedly railed against the suggestion that more people should vote by mail as a result of the pandemic, which he argues without offering evidence will lead to widespread voter fraud.
