The Mail Man
LOUIS DEJOY THOUGHT his workday was done as he arrived home one evening in February 2022. The Postmaster General was locked in a grueling, monthslong battle with Congress over a bill to shake up the Postal Service. But as he settled in, his cell phone rang, and, pulling it out, he saw who was calling and could already guess why. It was Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer. The second most powerful Democrat in America wanted to know how the whip count was coming.
As it happened, the count was coming along very nicely. DeJoy may be best known as the Trump-era GOP megadonor the left accused of meddling with mail-in voting to subvert the 2020 election. But by the time Schumer called him on that frigid winter night, DeJoy was on his way to persuading congressional Republicans-120 in the House and 29 in the Senate-to buy into a lengthy Democratic wish list of postal reforms. When President Joe Biden signed the landmark legislation into law two months later, it guaranteed a union-friendly version of six-day mail service and stabilized health coverage for the 650,000 USPS employees. "There's no way we could have gotten [the] votes without Louis DeJoy," says Jim Sauber, the chief of staff for the National Association of Letter Carriers at the time. "That's for sure."
