Postal workers protest USPS, Staples deal

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Postal workers protested a deal that allows postal products and services to be offered at 82 Staples stores. They said their jobs are being outsourced.

The U.S. Postal Service says this is a pilot program that will end August 1. It goes on to say the stores will become "approved shipper locations" that will offer services such as priority mail and first class shipping.
