Brief Update

📨Postal Works Rally Together

Bakersfield postal workers rallied against USPS budget cuts that would eliminate 10,000 jobs, particularly affecting rural areas. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy plans to work with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to reduce costs. Union leaders warn closures will harm mail service, including medication deliveries. Another rally is planned this weekend to protest the cuts.
