I'm always proud to work alongside unions to ensure they have the benefits and bargaining rights they deserve.

Delivery routes in #NC04 are operating with reduced fleets because USPS vehicles are going unrepaired for months, causing delays & putting the safety of carriers at risk.
I’m demanding information from USPS on how they plan to address the urgent safety concerns and the mounting backlog of repairs.
