Postal rally in
Springfield
Dec. 16
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — Postal
workers and their allies will hold a rally
Monday, Dec. 16 — the busiest postal
day of the year — to protest the closure
of the Eugene Processing and Distribu-
tion Facility.
The mail processing plant, which is
located at the Gateway Mall in Spring-
field, is one of 55 mail processing plants
scheduled for closure in February 2014.
The rally, which begins at noon, is
sponsored by the American Postal
Workers Union, the Rural Organizing
Project, and the Eugene-Springfield
Solidarity Network.
Immediately following the rally,
Communities and Postal Workers
United will lead a civil disobedience ac-
tion at the plant — a sit-in expected to
lead to the arrest of dozens of activists
— in an attempt to pressure the postal
service into abandoning its consolida-
tion plans.
With the shutdown of the Eugene
Processing and Distribution Facility,
mail from Lane County area ZIP codes
will be hauled to Portland for sorting,
then trucked back to Lane County for
delivery.
