Postal negotiations will resume
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Postal Service agreed to go back to bargaining with its unions yesterday, delaying for at least 15 days the threat of a national postal strike. Chief Federal Mediator Wayne Horwitz announced.
Negotiations will resume within 48 hours,
Horvitz said.
The Postal Service agreement to resume negotiations appeared to be a concession to union demands that key parts of a tentative agreement were rejected by union members be renegotiated.
Only hours before the agreement to go but burglarizing was reached, Postmaster Joseph Foster received the letter.
"As far as I'm concerned, we did our bargaining . . . I could not in good conscience agree to anything more at the bargaining table now."
A union source said the Postal Service agreed to reopen talks on the two most controversial sections of the tentative agreement, and said the service has authority to laff off workers.
NETHERHORVITZ nor the Postal Service would agree with union leaders that the Postal Service had backed down from its bargaining refusal to return to the bargaining table.
THE TENTATIVE contract would have given the postal workers overall increases of 10.5 percent—10 percent in wages and a 4.3 percent cost-of-living allowances—over three years.
Union leaders claim the rank-and-file members are opposed to the pact because of a rising rate of inflation since the tentative agreement was reached.
All three unions representing the postal workers have rejected a three-year contract with the company.
The tentative contract would have increased the average postal salary from the present $15,877 a year to about $19,200 by 1981.
There were threats of a walkout at midnight yesterday despite a federal court order prohibiting a work stoppage or slowdown.
Union leaders said the agreement constituted a return to the negotiating table, and they urged rank-and-file members to stay on the job.
Trooper slaying suspect to testify
HORVITZ SAID the unions and postal management agreed to let him name a person to mediate remaining issues between them. He would name that person within 48 hours.
If agreement is not reached, the mediator will decide on his own the remaining unresolved issues within 15 days after mediation begins. Horvitz said.
EL DORADO (UPI)—One of two Oklahoma men on trial for the execution-style slaying of a Kansas highway is scheduled to testify today in his own defense.
Jimmie Nelms of Tulsa is expected to take the stand during the first day of defense testimony in the week-old trial to explain that he was sleep in the back of a car on the Kansas Turnpike and awoke to the sound of the killed Trooper Conroy G. O'Brien.
Bolger said in a statement following Horwitz' announcement: "I am satisfied with this agreement, which provides a mechanism for a speedy resolution of the issues. The nation can now be assured it will be able to enjoy uninterrupted mail service."
Nelms, 31, and Walter Myrick, 25, also of Tulsa, are charged in the May 24 shooting death of O'Brien near the Matfield Green service area on the Kansas Turnpike. Both men, who are charged with first-degree murder, felony aggravation, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated battery and weapons during last week in Butler County District Court.
The pair and Stanford Swain, 21, who were in lesser charges, were arrested shortly after.
Swain has offered perhaps the most damaging testimony against the pair during the trial with an eye-witness account of the shooting. Swain testified that he observed that Neimus forced O'Brien to lie down in a ditch with his hands behind his head and systematically fired two shots into the trooper's head.
UNION LEADERS clearly were pleased. "We were successful in getting the Postal Service back to the bargaining table," she said. "We have a National Association of Letter Carriers said."
Using a clay model he made of the head of O'Brien, William Eckert of Wichita—the physician who performed the autopsy on the trooper's body—testified yesterday that the trooper had holes behind the left ear and also lacerations from a blunt object on the top of the head.
Eckert, one of several prosecution witnesses who testified yesterday before the prosecution rested its case, said gunshots were probably fired a distance of 16 to 18 inches from O'Brien's head and the person being was probably to the right of the victim.
Tucker also testified that a left shoe taken
A spokesman for Eumet Andrews, president of the American Postal Workers Union, called the return to negotiations "a surrender by the Postal Service."
