Look For
The Union Label
Mike Causey: "....after
reporting on the NALC-APWU endorsements earlier this month we were
contacted by a dozen or so members of each union who object to endorsements.
As one e-mail said: "...I'm a union member and I can tell you that
no matter what our executive council says we want, I'm telling you
most of the members I know are going to vote for Sen. John McCain
(R-Ariz.)."

Rally
To Protest Lafayette Post Office Closing
"Up to a few
weeks ago, the only reasons given by United States Postal Service
officials for closing the branch had to do with security concerns,
citing broken security cameras and a broken bulletproof glass door
through which parcels are passed. But earlier this month, Darleen
Reid, a USPS spokeswoman gave Jersey Journal columnist Earl Morgan
an additional reason. "It's not official yet, but the paperwork
is already in the works to permanently close the Lafayette Post
Office because it doesn't make a profit and we are under a congressional
mandate that post offices make a profit," Reid said."
