While shouting “U.S. Mail is not for sale,” members of the American Postal Workers Union and supporters gathered outside the downtown main Post Office on Thursday morning March 20, 2025.
They rallied in opposition to potential Trump administration moves to privatize the U.S. Postal Service.
“Privatizing the U.S. Postal Service will destroy 600,000 good union jobs [and] the USPS is the largest civilian employer of veterans,” said William “Bill” Bradley, APWU St. Louis Gateway District Area Local 8 president in a release.
“The U.S. Postal Service delivers to every address in the country. That’s 169 million addresses and 318 million pieces of mail per day, no matter who you are or where you live.”
