Anti-union, pro-fossil fuel forces are the real reason the Post Office is struggling

February 14, 2013

Best-selling author and progressive radio talk show host Thom Hartmann tells Current TV’s John Fugelsang that the U.S. Postal Service is struggling to survive not because of the rise of email and the Internet, but because of a concerted right-wing effort to destroy the USPS.

“As the second -largest employer in the United States, behind Wal-Mart, which is not unionized, they’re the largest union employer in the United States. And ever since 1981, when Ronald Reagan declared war on union workers, the Republican war against unions has been relentless,” Hartmann says.
