   Hello Rob!

   It's been 20 yrs since the introduction of those community     
   "boxes"?  I didn't think it was that long ago.

   But if they cut back the days for regular mail, what will those     
   employess do on the other 2 work days in the week?   
      
   As a biz owner in town, I get a free little box at the PO in     
   town.  But I only check it Wednesdays and Fridays.

   The union seems to think they can tell the CPC how to "run a     
   business".  I heard the clip by the union leader that "CPC is     
   making up the losses" or that the CPC has caused them     
   artificially to somehow justify their bargaining stance.   
      
   From my rural office, I hear that the workers and delivery     
   drivers are happy with the benifits and wages - and that they     
   would not necessarily care to stike. But the biggest sway in     
   voting is by the workers in the cities.
