Women Rural Carriers Slow Invasion Drawn By Rule
Ashington reports a surge of women joining rural mail delivery due to regulatory quirks. There are 257 women among rural carriers and 1,000 substitute carriers, with many entering via family substitutions. Preferring domestic hiring, the Postal Service allows bonded substitutes and rewards six months of service with a regular carrier post. City carriers face uniform restrictions, deterring women from applying.
