Did you know that the USPS allows letter carriers to take leave w/o
pay (but with no chance of job loss) to go campaign for Obama, salary
paid for completely by the Letter Carriers Union?


I didn't know that, but in general I'd hope that most businesses would allow
their employees to go and campaign for their favorite politicians so long as
their absence doesn't impact productivity (i.e., they get someone else to
cover for their shift or, when viable, make up the time later) or cost the
business money.

I bet John Larkin would let his guys go to a McCain rally under similar
circumstances... :-)

The employees getting reimbursed by their union is between them and the union,
I'd think...


USPS? Or do you leftist weenies just simply gloss over facts?
