MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) — "No closures, no cuts, no ifs, no buts!" Chants could be heard in downtown Milwaukee on Tuesday, Oct. 1 as the American Postal Workers Union held a "Day of Action."
Union members marched in front of the downtown main post office demanding the United States Postal Service (USPS) to stop cutting jobs and a better contract.
They were not the only ones, 90 cities across the nation held “Day of Action” to promote vote-by-mail and demand first-class service year-round.
Milwaukee Area Local #3 President Glenn Griggs says because of the job cuts causing slow delivery, Wisconsin now is the second worst in the country.
Griggs says he has a message for the postmaster.
"Make sure the people's post office is staffed properly and provide the service this is a public service, provide that service that he signed on to do which is provide efficient mail to all our customers," said Griggs.
CBS 58 reached out to the postmaster for comment, and we have yet to hear back.
Griggs says if you plan on voting by mail, get your ballot in as soon as possible.
"We are going to do everything we can to get your ballot out," said Griggs.

Griggs says if there is any issue, call your city clerk.
