Postal strike contingency plans and potential troop use
Union leaders discuss a possible postal strike and contingency measures, including federal troops at mail centers under a presidential state of emergency. Bolger warns it would harm the economy, affect welfare and Social Security payments, and could push Congress to allow private mail services.

The tentative contract calls a cost-of-living increase and salaries around $15,877 for the average worker.
