A new video takes a closer look at the union’s recent protests in in San Francisco and San Jose to stop the privatization of postal retail operations at Staples stores.

More than 200 APWU members and supporters took part in a lively protest outside a Staples store in San Francisco and San Jose on Jan. 28, challenging a deal between the company and the U.S. Postal Service that staffs “postal” counters in Staples stores with non-postal employees. The deal threatens good-paying union jobs and jeopardizes public post offices, they said.
