Postmaster general backs delivery system despite strike threat
Washington AP Nation's postmaster general Benjamin Bailor says he will proceed with the Letter Carrier Route Evaluation System if it improves service, even as letter carriers threaten to strike over job losses. The plan, tested in Kokomo and Portland, measures routes by letters, miles walked, and even dogs on the route. Bailor stresses the need to avoid a postal strike and notes labor costs influence rate increases. AFL-CIO in Miami Beach urges Congress to nationalize oil imports to curb profits amid the energy crisis, signaling possible broader policy shifts.
