Seeking Justice for the 'Jena Six'
PEN Editor: We feel certain that many, if not most, of you are
aware of the 'Jena 6'
case taking place in Louisiana. Although this case needs national
attention we, PEN, contend that the APWU is overstepping their obligation
as a union representative of postal employees by getting even slightly
involved in this case. APWU's call is to protect the rights of postal
employees - not the general public. We, PEN, saw no call to justice by
APWU when a similar tragedy took place in Knoxville, TN -
Read Here - APWU - protect postal employee rights - not the
general public - you have no police responsibility. -

Postal service curbs deliveries
- PEN Received the Following from a Contract Carrier
I am a HCR driver in a small (withheld) town. In just a little over 6
years, I have been lied to and cheated on several occasions; to the point
of costing me over $10,000! postal management thinks that they can do
whatever they want regardless if it is legal or not. my contract has been
manipulated to the point that my attorney thinks that it may even be
invalid!?!?! they don't care how it affects the job or the contractor
doing that job. there are simply too many issues to even list here. I
would just like to point out that if anyone thinking about taking on one
of these HCR jobs, THINK AGAIN!!! you will regret it!!! -
