PICKET ON FIRST DAY OF SEPTEMBER GETS MUCH ATTENTION

Up to 50 participants picket the Oshkosh Mail Processing and Distribution Center at 1025 W 20th AV from 7am to 10am. Over 40 come out for the 1pm to 4pm picket! Special thanks go out to City Council Member Bob Poeschl, Rep. Dick Spanbauer of 53rd Assembly District, Rep. Gorden Hintz of 54th Assembly District, Mayor Paul Esslinger, and Deputy Mayor Jessica King for stopping in and some carrying singage. Retirees, former postal employees, as well as members of the public with labor union affiliation, current employees, the President of the Green Bay Local APWU, and Santa stood to support NOT closing down the Oshkosh P&DC. Flyers were distributed to customers many of which went out of their way to learn what they can do to help raise public awareness. Yard signs were available for pick up and going by the handful. Thanks to every one who mailed a signature card/petition showing their support of keeping 549 mail processing in Oshkosh!
