Postal strike looms as contract talks stall in Washington
A nationwide postal strike threatens next week if union and management fail to reach a new two year contract for 600000 postal workers. Union leader James H. Rademacher warns mail deliveries could stop if no agreement within the week. Wages are not yet on the table as job security terms, no layoff protections, converting part timers to full time, and contracting out rules dominate discussions. Federal mediator W J Usery Jr. says a settlement is hoped before the deadline, with potential congressional action if needed.
