Striking AFL CIO carriers face injunction as walkout continues
The AFL CIO National Association of Labor Carriers publicized calls to return to work while union leaders clash over a court order. Brooklyn local president Leventhal cites three days’ notice before votes, leaving workers to decide individually. Only about 1 percent of 6000 night postal workers reported at Manhattan’s General Post Office as mass picketing endures amid threats of penalties. Some workers vow to stay out, arguing they can’t survive on current wages. others say the strike could cripple mail service nationwide if it persists. Postmaster Blount defers to Congress on wage issues, suspended strikers’ pay while idle, and notes military intervention would be extreme if needed.
