"The U.S. Postal Service is facing increased pressure from its employees, who are sounding the alarm that they are unprotected as they continue to sort and deliver mail throughout the novel coronavirus pandemic. A recent petition has circulated with nearly 80,000 signatures. It calls for the Postal Service to take immediate action to ensure the safety and rights of its workers and customers.
It includes requests like giving high risk employees leave with full pay, emergency sick leave for those with suspected cases of COVID-19 and hazard pay for those still at work."
