CHICAGO (AP) – Months of public outcry about Chicago mail delivery delays have led to the replacement of the city’s postmaster. The U.S. Postal Service announced Wanda Prater has been replaced as postmaster by Eddie Morgan Jr., who most recently was postmaster of Kansas City, Mo. Democratic Congressman Bobby Rush called for Prater’s resignation in February after a 2020 audit found the delayed delivery of thousands of letters and packages at four postal stations in Rush’s district. Rush said the delays amounted to a total and undeniable failure. Mack Julion of the National Association of Letter Carriers says the new leadership was a promising sign for rank-and-file workers grappling with staffing shortages and mismanagement.
