...Postal Service wants to increase productivity further by eliminating more workers. As part of the agreement to resume bargaining, Bolger insisted on reopening discussion of the no-layoff clause in the contract. Facing tough re-election battles this fall, Vacca and Emmet Andrews, president of the American Postal Workers Union, cannot easily agree to weakening the provision. But as one union leader admits, "it's a whole new game...
