0520 OR Staples Postal Protest
A protest over the weekend in Portland challenged a U-S postal service plan to privatize some postal services by opening centers in Staples office stores.
Seventy protesters, chanting "the U.S. Mail is not for sale", picketed the Staples office supply store in Cascade Station shopping center, before being kicked off the premises by mall security Sunday afternoon.
KBOO’s Sekoynia Wright spoke with Jamie partridge, who helped organize the protest.
