With Saginaw's letter carriers increasingly
facing verbal abuse, gunfire and aggressive dogs, postal officials
have had to suspend delivery on some of the mean streets temporarily.
Tuesday's BB gun shooting of Postal Carrier Nina L. Swan, 41, of
Saginaw during her West Side route was the most recent incident
in a pattern of violence that in some cases has canceled delivery.

Sick Leave: The Math and the Morality?
Sick leave, for
FERS employees, is more like the private sector: use it or lose
it. Because of the use-it-or-lose it nature of sick leave under
FERS, many chose to use it rather than lose it. Sick leave usage
for FERS employees increases in their last year of retirement. So
the question is, is this okay? Is sick leave only for when you are
sick? Or do you "earn" it and, if so, what's wrong with using it
even if you aren't running a fever or are a prisoner in your own
bathroom.

and something happened, maybe the machine got clogged and she stuck
her hand up inside the chute and it got caught. Somebody pulled
into the parking lot of the post office and found her."
