AFL-CIO:Postal Workers, USPS Prove Public Employee Bargaining Works

You might not be happy with the service you get when you walk into the post office but the AFL-CIO is:
While governors and state lawmakers across the country are attacking the right of public employees to bargain, the Postal Workers (APWU) and the U. S. Postal Service (USPS) today showed that public employees and government can work together to solve financial problems and provide good service. The two sides have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract, which APWU President Cliff Guffey says is “a win-win proposition” for both parties.
As the postal system is broke: the union movement is happy with high costs!
