postal workers
They bring mail
Postal workers are employees who handle mail—sorting, transporting, and delivering letters and packages.
The term covers letter carriers who walk routes, clerks who work counter windows, and workers who process mail in sorting facilities.
The postal workers went on strike over wages.
In the U.S., they're federal employees; elsewhere, the arrangement varies.
