[October 2nd]Nationwide Day of Picketing Set for October 26th
excerpted from APWU Web News Article #55-06
In accordance with a resolution adopted by delegates to the union's 18th Biennial Convention, the APWU National Executive Board has selected Oct. 26 for a nationwide day of picketing to protest ill-advised postal consolidations.
The coordinated informational picketing is intended to highlight the potentially damaging effects of the USPS consolidation plan, and to expose how Postal Service policy panders to major mailers. The Oct. 26 date was selected to give local unions the opportunity to seek support from elected officials and candidates prior to Election Day, Nov. 7.
The nationwide day of picketing will present an opportunity for union activists to encourage their co-workers to vote, Burrus noted. "This is a crucial election, and we will support candidates who support postal workers."
