After almost a year of negotiations, over 5 weeks of rotating strikes and the adoption of an unconstitutional law suspending negotiations there were some who thought the fight was over. WRONG! The ground has shifted, there is an updated playbook and there are some new players on the field.
This past week, supporters of free collective bargaining have been raising their voices in support of postal workers and decent working conditions.
