Today in Labor History March 23, 1970: President Richard Nixon declared a national emergency and sent 30,000 troops to New York City to serve as scabs to break the first nationwide postal strike.

The U.S. Postal Service is on track to run out of cash within a year unless Congress lets it borrow more. That's according to Postmaster General David Steiner, who tells the AP that running out of cash will mean the Postal Service will not be able to pay its workers or vendors, with potentially dire consequences for mail delivery. Steiner is scheduled to testify before Congress later this month. In an interview this week, he says a decades-old $15 billion borrowing cap blocks an easy stopgap solution. He also says allowing the Postal Service to set higher stamp prices would help.
@deirdrebeth @static @farah In fact I share your opinion, and if it was my decision, #PostalServices would be nationalized & monopolized and forced to provide services at fair and reasonable rates.
#USPS is just a horrible example, because #DeutschePost / #DHL can do it way better and if you gotta say "D'uh, #Germany is so smol" then consider #RoyalMail & #FrancePost as well...
