Postal workers say there have been concerning and potentially catastrophic changes in mail delivery since Louis DeJoy took over as postmaster general. 'Everybody is fundamentally watching the beginning of the dismantling of the Postal Service.'
"If the mail doesn't make it to the dock, it doesn't get on the truck," said Daleo Freeman, president of the American Postal Workers union in Cleveland, who joined the post office ranks in 1994."So we've had mail that has been left in the plants. Then they get it on the truck the next day."
Cash said a significant number of express mail items, which the post office promises customers will be delivered by noon the next day, aren't arriving on time as a direct result of the new mandates."Maybe it's because of the mail-in balloting. Or maybe it's because [DeJoy is] trying to make sure that they continue on their path to try to privatize the people's post office," Freeman said."The proof is in the pudding.
"If the mail doesn't make it to the dock, it doesn't get on the truck," says Daleo Freeman, president of the American Postal Workers union in Cleveland.The postal workers NBC News spoke with insist that if the operations hadn't been overhauled this summer, handling mail-in ballots wouldn't be a problem this fall.
