More than a dozen workers from various post offices in the Denver metro area protested Wednesday as U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy visited the Mile High City to speak with area supervisors.
A post office spokesperson says DeJoy gave a progress report on his 10-year plan, a set of goals proposed last year that has been largely opposed by local union postal employees.
Postal workers believe systemic changes need to happen from the top down to remedy problems they are seeing on a regular basis. “It hurts when upper management, higher up, come here with no intention to meet with the carriers and see what our needs are, see what we’re going through on a daily basis,” Wedgeworth said.
Workers tell CBS4 several postal carriers from out of state have been sent to the Denver area within the last couple of weeks to help ease the strain on overworked local carriers. But Wedgeworth says more needs to be done to improve working conditions across the board.
