Time to remove the Postmaster General
Protesters called for the ouster
of Postmaster General Louis
DeJoy at a rally Dec. 8 at the
East Portland Post Office. Simi-
lar rallies were held throughout
the country. DeJoy’s 10-year
plan is slowing the mail, raising
prices, cutting and closing postal
facilities, outsourcing postal
work, and paving the way for
privatization of the U.S. Postal
Service. December 8 was a sig-
nificant date because it marked
the end of terms for two Trump-
appointees to the Postal Board
of Governors — Chair Ron
Bloom and John Barger. DeJoy
also is a Trump appointee. Pres-
ident Joe Biden has nominated
Derek Kan, a Republican, and
Dan Tangherlini, a Democrat, to
the nine-member Board. Only
the Postal Board of Governors
can fire DeJoy. Postal unions
and their allies see this as a turn-
ing point, and have escalated the
pressure to replace DeJoy and
save the USPS. The two nomi-
nees must be confirmed by the
U.S. Senate. At press time, no
hearings had been scheduled.
