National postal mail handlers union endorses Biden
By Rebecca Klar - 09/16/20 07:10 PM EDT
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden earned an endorsement from the National Postal Mail Handlers Union on Wednesday.
The union’s president slammed President Trump’s treatment of the United States Postal Service in its endorsement, and touted Biden for his “history of supporting†the postal service and postal workers.
“NPMHU members are facing unprecedented times. Despite the USPS being the most trusted federal agency, often it feels as if our work is undervalued and unappreciated by elected officials. We’ve seen attacks against our rights as workers, the service we provide, and the constitutionally protected institution we work for. We need a leader who will stand with us. We need Joe Biden,†Paul V. Hogrogian, the president of the union, said in a statement.
Hogrogian said union members have “faced direct threats on their livelihood from the Trump Administration†over the past four years. He encouraged the union’s roughly 47,000 members to back the Democratic presidential ticket.
