“I’ve been sorting and loading at the Atlanta RPC for six years. We work rain, snow, heat — holidays too. When the pandemic hit, the rush of packages was non-stop; people relied on us more than ever. I bought the Work Essentials hoodie and the clear backpack because it felt like a small way to show pride in what we do. That hoodie is soft, keeps me warm in the sorting hall, and the backpack holds my keys, gloves, and lunch without getting in the way.
I wear it to remind myself that this job matters — we keep people connected. Being featured here would mean a lot because it’s recognition for the whole crew who shows up for those early shifts.”
