Postal Unions Threaten Strikes Over Wages and Deadlock
Federal mediation failed to resolve a dispute between the carrier unions and the Mail Handlers Division of the International Brotherhood of Postal Workers. A proposed 19.5 cent wage increase over three years was rejected. Postal Service lawyers sought a restraint order Friday, but the judge delayed action to allow talks to continue, with potential reconsideration if a strike seems imminent. Officials from the Federal Mediation Service reported no progress as the two unions, representing 480,000 of about 554,000 postal workers, face stalled negotiations.
