Senators Durbin, Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen, and Jeff Merkley, alongside @SenSanders, have expressed their concerns and opposition to the USPS's proposed operational changes and relocation plans by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, which they argue could result in job losses and degrade delivery performance. Durbin and Sanders urged DeJoy to halt any changes that could negatively impact postal service, especially in rural areas. Cortez Masto and Rosen are particularly focused on preventing the relocation of mail processing operations from Reno to California, highlighting the potential adverse effects on families, seniors, and veterans in Northern Nevada. Additionally, Merkley joined his Senate colleagues in demanding an immediate stop to any changes that would lead to layoffs and further degrade postal services. The senators' efforts include pushing for language in the upcoming government funding package to prevent USPS from transferring operations without considering the impact on delivery and jobs.
Heard loud & clear at yesterday‘s #2024townhall in Tillamook County how postal service consolidation is weakening mail delivery for rural Oregonians. The time is now for @USPS leadership to deliver the answers Oregonians in small communities on the Coast and statewide deserve. https://t.co/2YDqGuhF6j
The #OregonWay was alive and thriving today here in Lincoln County at my #2024townhall with a great discussion about rural broadband, coastal jobs, clean water, recreation, veterans health care, the postal service & more. https://t.co/qOG7kqVhVt

Enjoyed hearing from Oregonians yesterday at my #2024townhall in Polk County. Thanks to everyone who came out to make your voices heard in the true spirit of the #OregonWay. https://t.co/mpMfGmJsLZ
I'm doing everything I can to stop the proposed relocation of mail processing operations from Reno to CA. I'm now pushing to include language in the upcoming gov't funding package that prevents @USPS from transferring operations without considering the impacts to delivery & jobs.
I've heard serious concerns from so many families, seniors, and veterans in Northern Nevada that are worried about @USPS attempting to move operations out of Reno and into California. I'm strongly opposed to this and am demanding @USPS not move forward with this plan. https://t.co/sQK5OdtMLG
NEWS: I joined @SenSanders to urge @USPS Postmaster General DeJoy to stop changes that would result in job loss or degrade delivery performance. People all over the country, especially in rural areas, depend on reliable mail service for their daily lives. https://t.co/YHPG5UORIK
