Postal workers must not be made the scapegoat for losing political campaigns
"...Postal workers are honest, public servants who have no motive for delaying mail -- and would never risk their jobs by doing this. We are proud to protect the sanctity of the mail and serve the American public with every piece every day. I will point out to you that in many nation surveys the American public has voted that the Postal Service is the most trusted federal agency of all. Of that we are very proud.
Postal workers must not be made the scapegoat for losing political campaigns. We are not thieves but American citizens who are proud of their service every day...."

National Arbitration Decision on FMLA Form Letters
"...The case originated on the NALC arbitration docket, and the NPMHU intervened in support. The Unions generally argued that the form letters imposed improper and unlawful burdens on affected employees, and that the Postal Service was seeking more medical and other information than the FMLA allows employers to demand. More particularly, we claimed that the form letters impermissibly ask employees to obtain additional medical information from their health care providers, when the FMLA only allows the USPS, with the permission of the employee, to have its postal doctor call the employee’s doctor; that the form letters seek too much information, by relying on general medical releases and by referring to the employee’s general medical history, rather than focusing these inquiries on the serious medical condition at issue in the FMLA leave; and that the form letters inappropriately suggest to the employee that he or she “must” sign releases or grant USPS access to his/her health care provider, when the employee can refuse (which will usually prompt the USPS to require a second medical opinion)...."
