I think there’s just a cultural difference between Sweden and the US into how the postal service is viewed.

In the US, the postal service is the OG government service - the power of Congress to create post offices is explicitly called out in the Constitution when it was signed.

Further, the US postal service has a mandate to provide mail access to every residential address - even if’s some remote island in Alaska.

I think the idea that the government can just throw up its hands when faced with a private labor strike, and say “Nothing we can do” is just baffling to us in the US.

Frankly, that should be the norm.

If employees are being abused, let them ask for their rights.
