Postal talks break off as unions reject contract
Washington says talks to avert a postal strike broke off with no resume date. The American Postal Workers Union and National Post Office Mailhandlers rejected the three year contract, joining the National Association of Letter Carriers in the move. The Postal Service seeks binding arbitration and asked a federal court for a restraining order, while a judge cautioned on delays if talks fail over the weekend.
