Members of the American Postal Workers Union across the country are protesting potential changes that could affect how you receive mail. 

They say they're sending a strong message to Washington against the privatization of the United States Postal Service. The protest comes after the Trump administration weighs plans to transfer the USPS to the Department of Commerce and take away its independence. President Donald Trump also says he is thinking of privatizing the mailing company.

Protestors are concerned that this move would raise rates, shutter local post offices, and lead to reduced service, especially in rural areas.

"The postal service belongs to the American people, the postal service receieves no money whatsoever from the federal government it is not part of the federal budget. So keep your hands off the postal service," Frank Resetarits, president of the American Postal Workers Union Local 374 said.
