Court Won't Stop Mail Contract Vote
A federal judge refused to block the American Postal Workers Union from proceeding with a rank and file contract ratification vote by about 300,000 postal workers. Judge Barrington Parker said voting could aid labor peace and that the public interest is in keeping mail delivery undisrupted. The APWU said ballots would be mailed today, with completion in about three weeks, despite a local dissident's bid to halt the process and calls to renegotiate the pact.
