With their loudspeakers playing the jaunty 1961 Marvelettes
Motown hit, "Please Mr. Postman," union carpenters and Teamsters
picketed outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center during a gathering of the
National Association of Letter Carriers Union.
Leaders of the two unions say they were unfairly ousted from
the center because they didn't sign a new Customer Satisfaction Agreement on
time, but did sign a few days later.
Convention center management said the leaders were well
aware of the deadline and chose not to sign. The two unions' work was then
divided among the four other unions working at the center.
The letter carriers convention, which began Sunday and runs
through Saturday, is expected to draw 12,000 letter carriers and family members
and generate $24.8 million in economic impact.
