Beckley Post Office Workers Hold Picket
WEST VIRGINIA....
Friday, Beckley post office workers held an informational picket along Industrial Drive to let locals know they could soon have a new post office in charge of their area. The U.S. Postal Office has conducted a study to determine whether it’s feasible to continue processing operations at the Beckley Post Office or process mail at the Charleston Processing and Distribution Center. Post office employees say the move projects a one time savings of $571,017, but they believe the long-term effect would be detrimental. Members of the Postal Workers Union believe a public outcry would change plans that they believe are already in the works to move operations. They’re asking the public to address postcards to the Consumer Affairs division in Charleston by October 6th.
