Protesters rally in Ohio Valley against USPS privatization

A nationwide protest reached the Ohio Valley on Sunday as the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) held a rally outside the Jefferson County Courthouse. The demonstration was part of a broader effort to oppose the potential privatization of the United States Postal Service (USPS).
Chants of "US Mail! Not for sale!" echoed as protesters gathered in response to President Donald Trump's suggestion of moving the USPS under the Department of Commerce. The NALC organized rallies, including the one in Steubenville, to raise awareness about the implications of such a move.
Ron Green, Vice President of the NALC Branch 164, expressed concerns about the potential impact of privatization. "We think it's bad for the service, bad for our customers, and bad for our employees, and it's just bad for our country in general," he said.
