Postal Reform Block Defeat Bans Unions For Mailmen
The House rejected attempts to block post office reform and approved a measure banning compulsory union membership for mailmen. An amendment to kill reform and grant an 8 percent pay raise failed 105 to 57, then the bill was amended to create a self supporting U S Postal Service with an 8 percent pay rise and worker choice on union membership. Opposition argued the ban shifts leverage to management and overrules state union laws. Rep Edith Green argued postal unions should enlist maximum support for the measure.
