	Postal Reform Legislation Stalled (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Congressional action on postal reform appears to have ground to a halt due to the Bush Administration’s opposition to key provisions of the bills pending in the House and Senate.

		The House bill meets most of the APWU objectives for postal reform, but the union continues to oppose a provision in the Senate bill that would reduce benefits for injured postal workers and exempt them from certain protections that are provided to all other federal employees.
