How Trump's Appointees Continue to Dismantle the Postal Service

[douglas9]

But the Big Postal Unions Won’t JoJoinern the Effort to Force DeJoy and Bloom from Their Posts



The men Donald Trump handpicked to run the U.S. Postal Service into the ground continue to do The Don’s dirty work, intentionally slowing the mail and outsourcing vital services to private delivery companies. But the heads of the nation’s four postal service unions are too spellbound to react.

That’s the view of postal workers across the country who are seeing service standards deteriorate and privatization expanded under the watch of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and Postal Service Board of Governors Chair Ron A. Bloom. And the postal workers want to give both men the boot.


Last month, 77 public interest groups comprising the Save The Post Office Coalition signed a letter urging President Joe Biden not to extend Bloom’s term after it expires in December.

3. I do not see, from the law governing the postal board, how Bloom could get another term.

He was appointed by Trump to fill a seat that had one year remaining in a term of someone who left.

At the end of that year/term, he was granted a one year "HOLDOVER" term, which expires Dec. 8.

The law is careful to say that an appointee can only serve two terms.

The law is careful to say that a board member (and ostensibly the postmaster) may be removed for corruption.

How much more corrupt could it be than the fact that Louis DeJoy invested $300,000 in Bloom's financial investment business?

(And how much more corrupt could DeJoy be than the conflicts of interest between his own financial holdings and the monies the USPS spends on various associated contracts and services?)

Bloom has said he is "tickled pink" at DeJoy's "accomplishments" as Postmaster.

Dump him as of December 8. And don't look back. A re-up would be a GRAVE mistake by Biden administration.
