Second class treatment…

…for first class letter carriers. Jeff Richardson, aka The Tahoma Activist, reports:

The US Postal Service, under the careful control of the Bush White House, aims to contract out hundreds if not thousands of new routes to independent contractors, replacing solid union letter carriers with unaccountable, unqualified contractors with no benefits and no background checks.

You can call it "contracting out" or you can call it "union busting," but the best thing to call it is off.
