But that job has gotten harder, more dangerous, and more complicated in recent years. From increases in targeted violence against letter carriers to the Trump administration\u2019s attacks on mail-in voting, to ICE and Border Patrol agents invading communities on their mail routes, USPS workers are confronting many daily hazards on the job that the public doesn\u2019t see. In this episode, we speak with Connor Mauche, a letter carrier in New York and a shop steward for Branch 3 of the National Association of Letter Carriers, about what it\u2019s like to be a postal worker in America in 2026.   Additional links\/info:  National Association of Letter Carriers - Branch 3 website Ann DeStefano Sutherland, The Revolt of the Good Guys (a documentary about the Great Postal Strike of 1970)  Derek Dolbeare, Labor Notes, \u201cDispatch: Letter carriers are gearing up for another contract fight\u201d Sara Braun, The Guardian, \u201cNearly blind refugee abandoned by US border patrol found dead in Buffalo\u201d Monique Morrissey, Economic Policy Institute, \u201cWhy is President Trump attacking the Postal Service?\u201d Susan Haigh, AP, \u201cUS Postal Service expects to run out of cash in a year without help from Congress, postmaster says\u201d Featured Music:  Jules Taylor, Working People Theme Song Credits:  Audio Post-Production: Jules Taylor  ","author_name":"Working People","author_url":"http:\/\/workingpeople.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
