Protests planned against USPS job cuts in California

U.S. Postal Service employees are set to protest on March 20 against job cuts linked to an agreement between Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. The protests will occur at post offices in Redding, Shasta Lake, and Red Bluff. DeJoy announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs to improve the agency's financial situation, despite the USPS losing $9.5 billion last year. The American Postal Workers Union claims these cuts threaten local services and jobs. President Trump has suggested merging the USPS with the Commerce Department, which would place it under executive control. The postal union opposes any efforts to weaken their rights or working conditions.
