Denver postal workers sue over hostage drama
Seven postal employees held hostage at gunpoint last Christmas Eve sue the U S Postal Service for failing to protect them during the 10 hour ordeal. The suit in U S District Court cites repeated postal worker deaths since 1973 and accuses the service of ignoring security. Lawyer Janice Finch calls the security lapses outrageous amid claims safeguarding staff is a top priority. None have returned to work at the Denver facility where David Lee Jackson allegedly held them at gunpoint. All remain on reduced salaries from workers compensation programs.
