VIENNA – A wave of protests swept across the nation as postal workers and their supporters gathered to voice their concerns over the potential privatization of the U.S. Postal Service.
One of these protests took place on Grand Central Avenue in Vienna where about 100 demonstrators gathered to make their voices heard. Among them was Steve Taylor, director of education for the West Virginia State Association of Letter Carriers Steve Taylor.
Taylor emphasized the gravity of the situation.
“They’re talking about privatizing us and putting us back under the Department of Commerce,” Taylor said.”What they want to do is take away our collective bargaining rights, which means we would have to go before Congress just to get a pay raise.”
