Moe Biller and Vincent Sombrotto accuse Postmaster Bolger of bad faith as a Monday deadline nears for a new contract. The plan would cost 2.5 billion dollars, cap raises at 48 cents an hour, and modify health premium contributions.

Flood water sweeping the Yangtze toward China's largest Gezhouba dam has killed 3,000 to 4,000 people and injured 50,000 to 100,000. Sichuan braces for more rain as relief teams feed and house up to 500,000 homeless. The Yangtze reached a record flow around 68,400 to 70,000 cubic meters a second at Gezhouba, built to 86,000 with spillways open.
