A Center for Public Integrity investigation revealed that U.S. Postal Service workers across the country have been cheated out of their pay. Senior reporter Alexia Fernández Campbell examined private arbitration records and found that from 2010 to 2019, at least 250 managers in 60 post offices were caught changing mail carriers’ time cards, resulting in unpaid wages. Since publishing the investigation, we’ve heard from dozens of postal workers who reached out with their stories of wage theft and to ask questions.
Join us for a live panel with a legal expert, a workers’ rights advocate and a retired postal worker. They will discuss wage and hour violations and what workers can do if they suspect they have been cheated at work. We will also answer questions from postal workers.
Join us on Facebook Live at 8 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, Dec. 15.
