Postal Service Standoff Meets Possible Wider Union Action

APWU and Mail Handlers votes loom as mediators outline fact finding and arbitration and Postmaster General Bolger cautions against reopening talks.

Hickel wins in Alaska in Republican primary for governor
Anchorage AP report shows Walter J. Hickel leading incumbent Gov. Jay Hammond by about 900 votes with 17 of 403 precincts in, 27 113 to 26 212. Absentee ballots, mainly from Anchorage, could shift final result as Hammond carried rural areas and Juneau while Hickel dominates the city. Hickel’s 1970 firing as interior secretary and environmentalist shifts frame his bid, with voters wary but hopeful as absentee ballots remain.
