Tony Vaughn is the president of the Baltimore chapter (Branch 176) of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC). He joins Dr. Kaye to discuss their protest against some of the cuts that DOGE is trying to implement with the U.S. Postal Service.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has agreed to cut 10,000 workers and billions of dollars from the U.S. Postal Service budget. He’ll do that working with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. A letter sent to members of Congress on March 13 says DOGE will assist the U.S. Postal Service with addressing “big problems” at the agency.
USPS has sometimes struggled in recent years to stay afloat.
The agency listed such issues as mismanagement of the agency’s retirement assets and Workers’ Compensation Program.
USPS employs about 640,000 workers. Neither the Postal Service nor the Trump administration did immediately respond to emails requesting comment.
