Postal Worker Arrested On Drug, Gun Charges
"A
postal worker who had been a soldier was arrested after conservation
officers found bomb-making materials, guns, marijuana and other
illegally possessed items on his rural Carroll County property,
authorities said. Jessie Snider, 27, was arrested Saturday night
after a Department of Natural Resources conservation officer heard
a gunshot come from Snider's property, the DNR said. A search of
Snider's home and barn revealed 25 guns, more than 5,900 rounds
of ammunition, an indoor marijuana growing operation and materials
for building bombs, including a can of the explosive C-4, the DNR
said Wednesday."

Union Condemns USPS Invitation to' Ignore
Agreements
APWU President William Burrus has criticized
the outcome of a meeting of 700 USPS executives, at which participants
were invited to identify the best opportunities for improving postal
efficiency. According to a USPS News Link report dated Oct. 18,
among the top vote-getters were managing sick leave and overtime,
and maximizing the use of non-career employees. The union president
did not object to the solicitation of input from responsible managers
per se, he wrote, “but an open-ended invitation to improve efficiencies
is a solicitation to ignore agreements.” Ending harassment of employees
and improving employee morale were not included among the top recommendations,
Burrus observed, “even though it is clear that serious change [in
these areas] would improve efficiencies.”

Judge Won't Block Transfer of Vermont Postal
Clerk
A Waterbury postal clerk can continue
to fight her reassignment to another town, but a federal judge has
rejected her bid for an injunction to prevent an immediate transfer.
In a written decision issued Monday, U.S. District Judge William
Sessions III said Ellen Bardin would not suffer irreparable harm
as she claimed if she is immediately transferred. Bardin could move
back into her Waterbury position if she prevails in her lawsuit
to keep her job in the town.
