Just confirmed with the MT Postal Workers Union there are orders for 13 collection boxes to be removed just in Missoula. The direction came down in the mid-July. It's unclear how many have been removed already. Digging now. #mtnews #USPS

Union: "At first management said they were just removing double boxes... when fact checked and that was incorrect, they said they were not used much. In the past they have done density tests and one might be removed or the location changed. 30 in Billings is massive." #mtnews

A rep with @USPS just responded, saying it's a cost saving measure. She says they relocate low-use boxes to high traffic areas. I asked for more clarification on why the boxes downtown and in front of Target would be moved. #mtnews #USPS
Spox for @SteveDaines says: "The senator is looking into the situation and has strong concerns with reports of boxes being removed and impacts to service times. The senator is a strong advocate for the USPS And will continue working to ensure the USPS is working for Montanans."

I just looked up all of the addresses of the Missoula collection boxes on the removal list. Take a look: #mtnews #USPS
JUST IN: @SteveDaines issues a statement, attaching a letter he sent to Postmaster General to investigate these removals after I reached out this morning. #mtnews #mtpol #USPS
You can add @GregForMontana to the list of Montana lawmakers writing letters. His team just sent me this letter to Postmaster General after I reached out to them earlier. #mtpol #mtnews #USPS

Add @GovernorBullock to the list of politicians writing the Postmaster General about the Montana USPS boxes. #mtpol #mtnews #USPS
. @SenatorTester is out with a second statement after the confirmation the USPS collection box removals are on hold in Montana. He says he's glad, but the fight is not over. #mtpol #mtnews #USPS
Here’s the final product that hit the 5pm news tonight. Thanks to all of you for helping share this today! #mtnews #mtpol #USPS
Also, couldn’t have done this today without the help of @marwhi @Swyberg3 and @darrenNBCMT . Thanks so much to them!
