The petition noted that postal employees carry "blood, sweat, and tears" every day, "at the expense of time with our families, wear and tear on our bodies, and mental and emotional abuse from USPS management" and alleges that USPS CEO Megan Brennan "hasn't sent any supplies" for employee protection and instead read a "very vague statement" about following CDC guidelines.
