Postal service has been considered to be a essential service forever because of the potential impact on the economy and on everyday life due to things like unemployment checks and welfare checks etc.
While it might not be as essential now in our opinions the Government still has the ability to argue that its essential, especially during a fragile economy and that the workers shouldn't be able to hold the country hostage
