Union hosts rally in Youngstown against post office privatization
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – A rally was held in downtown Youngstown against post office privatization.
The American Postal Workers Union hosted a 'Rally in the Valley' Saturday afternoon.
Many people from the community gathered at Youngstown's main post office on S. Walnut Street.
The purpose was to defend the United States Postal Service against President Trump's plan to privatize the agency.
Dominic Corso, the Youngstown area president of the American Postal Workers Union, fears what could happen if it's privatized.
'The post office is on the chopping block to be sliced and diced to be privatized for profit instead of being a universal service for everyone, which means everyone pays the same amount for a stamp. People think the price of a carton of eggs is too much. Well, if the post office gets privatized, add shipping costs to what we buy online — that will be astronomical. That will get too expensive,' he said.
Everyone was invited to support the post office.
