USPS employees got an email today telling them not to talk to the press under any circumstances

Published 5 mins ago on August 20, 2020By Sarah K. Burris

While the U.S. Postal Service is under attack, everyone from letter carriers to union chairs and those working behind the doors in processing facilities has sounded the alarm about what they’re seeing from the top as part of the intentional mail slow down.

VICE News reported Thursday that USPS staff were sent a letter telling them that they can’t talk to the press under any circumstances.

The memo, dated Aug. 14, explains what staff should do if contacted, but it also says that if customers are asking questions, then employees should be “suspicious.”

Don't talk to customers who ask too many questions?

Streamlining operations includes discourteous behavior toward customers?

In which universe?

Their ass is caught!
