Postal, veterans rally Nov. 12 in Portland
A rally and march to save America’s
postal service and to honor war veter-
ans will be held at noon Monday, Nov.
12, at Pioneer Courthouse Square.
Nov. 11 is Veterans Day. Because it
falls on a Sunday, the following Mon-
$17 a month coverage
includes:
day is the designated holiday. There is
no mail delivery on Nov. 12.
Organized by the National Associa-
tion of Letter Carriers Branch 82, the
gathering will include a sidewalk
march to the offices of U.S. Sen. Jeff
Merkley at 121 SW Salmon. “Sen.
Merkley is a strong supporter of saving
America’s postal service and veterans,”
said Jim Cook, president of Branch 82.
The union is proposing that USPS
hire more veterans for postal vacancies
and that it promote veterans currently
working temporary assignments at the
Postal Service into full-time positions.
Cook said currently there are 109
letter carrier vacancies in Portland.
The rally also is a reminder to politi-
cians and the public that postal unions
oppose a bill in Congress that calls for
the elimination of Saturday mail deliv-
ery and the closure of thousands of post
offices and mail processing facilities
nationwide. If passed, HR 2309 would
eliminate more than 280,000 jobs.
“The Postal Service offers veterans
preference for employment, so this cut
would contribute to the already high
rate of unemployment for America’s
men and women returning from mili-
tary service,” Cook said.
Twenty-five percent of letter carri-
ers are military veterans.
For more information about the
rally, call NALC Branch 82 at 503-
493-5903.
