They’re Trying to Privatize the Post Office. Let’s Clear Up The Myths.

A panel in Portland, Oregon held a discussion concerning the privatization of the U.S. Postal Service (March 30, 2012). Three guests speak about their contribution to society and the positive roles that postal employees play in the community. The three guests have been employed with USPS and they exchange opinions and ideas about the current situation, along with the dismantling of USPS.

On the positive side, there are potential future upgrades that could benefit the national postal service.

The moderator kicks off the conference by asking about the accuracy of the news when reporting the condition of the post office. The solutions and misconceptions are weighed.

In recent headlines, postal workers and activists have taken to the streets in Washington, D.C. They have chosen to go on a hunger strike.

The plan is to shrink the postal network by 28,000 jobs by 2014.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich sided with the protesters and showed moral support for the cause.
