Did you know that the USPS allows letter carriers to take leave w/o

I'd guess they could take LWOP to campaign for McCain/Palin if they
wanted to. Any cites to indicate that this is not the case would be
interesting reading indeed.

What is LWOP?

Leave With-Out Pay


Oh! But would the union make up their pay like they do for Obama
campaigners? I think not.

No. But the union is hiring workers that have been made available to
work for its political action group. If a worker took leave, nothing
would stop them from taking a temp job with a GOP PAC.
