Close to 200,000 aging postal vehicles, the largest vehicle fleet in the country, will be replaced in the next few years. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has signed a contract with Oshkosh Defense to produce 90% gas guzzling Next Generation Vehicles, which are slated to be made non-union. A movement is growing, among postal workers, in the labor and environmental movements, in Congress and state governments to block DeJoy's bad deal and go with union-made, electric vehicles. How do we get there? Join this national webinar by DSA4USPS, featuring David Yao, Seattle postal worker and union officer, to discuss our next moves in this critical fight to roll out EV infrastructure across the vast postal network and take a major step in the battle against climate change.
