Postal Workers Protest Cuts to Mail Service on Frederick Road in Catonsville (Video)

Between 70-80 members of the four unions that represent the United States Postal Service protested cuts to their jobs and benefits in Catonsville Tuesday afternoon.

The employees marched in a circle, held signs and chanted slogans including 'We don't want a bailout, we just want to get the mail out' and 'Six days is the way,' referring to a proposal that would eliminate mail on Saturdays.

According to the website www.SaveAmericasPostalService.org, workers visited offices of members of Congress on Tuesday between 4 and 5:30 p.m.

Workers are lobbying for the passage of HB 1351, which would no longer require the postal service to fund future retiree health benefits for the next 75 years within one decade. The postal service is the only federal agency required to pre-fund retirement benefits, Fredric Rolando, head of the National Association of Letter Carriers told NPR today.

Leonard Davis, a postal employee for 25 years who is three years away from retiring, said he is worried that there won't be a retirement package available for him.

"Will there even be a retirement?" he asked Tuesday while pausing from handing out fliers to passers by.

"I don't know if we can survive these cuts."
