To: Congress and the President
Electric, union-made postal trucks now!
Congress must pass the Green Postal Service Fleet Act and stop DeJoy from putting hundreds of thousands of gas-powered trucks on the road for decades to come!
Why is this important?
Trump’s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is still in office — and still doing the bidding of big business at the expense of the American people. Click here to stop DeJoy.
DeJoy’s latest antics? Finalizing a $11.3 billion order for up to 148,000 gas-powered postal delivery trucks from Oshkosh Defense in blatant disregard for President Biden’s plan to electrify the fleet.
Oshkosh Defense then announced that the trucks would not be built by union workers at the company’s Wisconsin plant, and instead would be produced by non-union workers in South Carolina. Not only would this bait-and-switch put hundreds of thousands of trucks on the road with the fuel efficiency of a Hummer, but it would also deprive 1,000 Wisconsin workers of a government contract.
Post office trucks are a long-term investment in our shared future, not an opportunity for corporations to line their pockets by underpaying workers. We need to block the contract — unless it’s revised to ensure at least 75 percent of the new vehicles Oshkosh makes are electric or otherwise emissions-free!
