The organizers of this event also add: "5 out of 13 of Tacoma's mail sorting machines each one the length of two city buses have been dismantled but not thrown away, we demand DeJoy order them put back because It would take a crew of 20 to 30 people hand-sorting the mail all night to do what one of these machines can do in a couple hours,” According to Nancy Pelosi in a statement Wednesday the Postmaster General’s alleged pause is wholly insufficient and does not reverse damage already wreaked, “The Postmaster General frankly admitted that he had no intention of replacing the sorting machines, blue mailboxes and other key mail infrastructure that have been removed and that plans for adequate overtime, which is critical for the timely delivery of mail, are not in the works."
