David Steiner, former CEO of a leading waste management company, has been selected as the new U.S. Postal Service postmaster general. His appointment has sparked fears among postal unions regarding potential privatization, a pressing issue amid ongoing financial hardships for the USPS. President Trump's administration has suggested privatization as a means of improving efficiency. Postal unions strongly oppose these moves, citing job cuts and a potentially altered universal service obligation, while urging protests against Steiner's selection due to its implications for the future of the USPS.
His selection isn't just a conflict of interest - it's an aggressive step toward handing America's mail system over to corporate interests.
We anticipate that Mr. Steiner will join the organization in July, assuming his successful completion of the ethics and security clearance processes.
The choice of Steiner has been seen by the postal unions as a harbinger for possible privatization of some or all of the venerable quasi-public institution.
Postal unions have held protests throughout the country over potential privatization, job cuts and possibly ending the universal service obligation.
