WNYers join fight to save mail center: wivb.com
CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WIVB) – Frustration and fury reigned the night as hundreds of western New Yorkers joined the fight to save Buffalo’s William Street Post Office.
About 200 outraged citizens, elected officials and Postal Service employees lit up the mic at a public meeting to discuss a proposal to close the William Street processing and distribution center.
Congressman Brian Higgins said, “But I want you to know something. This is not the end of our fight, it’s the beginning.”
The Postal Service argues consolidating with the Rochester facility would save $28.8 million a year.

Rage over plan to close postal plant: wivb.com
Some tempers flared at a public hearing Wednesday night on the plan to shut down the main post office on William Street.
People refused to yield the microphone, and lit into Postal Service managers over the plan to close the William Street facility.
“Fatally flawed” and “lacking integrity” – those are just a few of the more polite terms used by citizens, elected officials, and Postal Service employees, who are outraged over a proposal to close the Processing and Distribution Center on William Street.
In all the debate about the future of the Buffalo main Post Office, there’s one constituency that has yet to be heard on this issue–those working at the Rochester main Post Office. Being a Category 3 facility, workers in Rochester need to stand up and say they cannot handle the extra work or capacity that is typical of a Category 2 facility like Buffalo. It’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole
The push to dismantle the U.S. Postal Service’s distribution and delivery network is a scheme by corporate privatizers to crush the largest organized workforce in federal employment, pick apart a trusted government service, and grab the most profitable parts of the business for their own enrichment.
Tea anyone?
