Estrada and other UAW officials joined environmental groups and political leaders outside U.S. Postal Service headquarters in Washington, D.C. on April 6 to deliver 150,000 petitions demanding that the new postal vehicles be built with union labor.

“We have nothing against South Carolina workers,” Estrada said. “We believe every worker should have democracy in their workplace.”

She was joined by Bob Lynk, president of UAW Local 578, which represents the Oshkosh Defense plant.

“The new USPS delivery vehicle can be a great opportunity to invest in both a cleaner future and good paying union jobs,” Lynk said. “The company says it values its employees — we are the employees. Invest in us and reward us.”
