Federal judge blocks postal union vote injunction
A U S District Judge Barrington Parker refused to block the American Postal Workers Union from holding a rank and file ratification vote for the contract. The union will mail ballots today and allow about three weeks for completion. The suit was filed by John Richards seeking renegotiation instead of a member vote. The Postal Service would likely not bargain after a rejection, with arbitration taking up to 90 days.
