If you see workers picketing in front of your local post office Friday morning – it’s not a strike. Rather postal employees are expressing their opposition to plans to consolidate a number of processing plants nationwide… including one in Huron.
A mail processing facility in Huron is one of 82 nationwide slated for closure by July. Post office officials say it’s necessary to meet budget requirements.
The move has raised the ire of workers who say the Postal Service is making cuts that won’t increase efficiency or save money.
Postal workers are planning an informational picket in front of post offices on Friday.
The Huron mail processing center employs about 50 people.
