I ran into so much police state type stuff, I was rightly disturbed by it. <br /><br />The kicker with this story that the article fails to mention, is that a lot of places have privatized the post office. So that in my mind raises the spectre of the post office not delivering mail for political reasons, and the government basically not being able to do anything about it.The Archer of the Foresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03075768526819990250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468413.post-11754140200888854372009-05-15T13:38:00.000-05:002009-05-15T13:38:00.000-05:00similar issue in Vancouver in 2006 where a postal ...similar issue in Vancouver in 2006 where a postal worker refused to deliver anti-gay pamphlets to a known gay neighbourhood. He was disciplined, but management decided to do the delivery themselves.<br /><br />Canada Post is allowed to refuse certain materials for distribution - notably sexually explicit admail - but a postal worker will be disciplined if they don't deliver something that has been accepted for delivery.<br /><br />I don't know that the postal workers in England should be fired over this but suspension or other lighter discipline is certainly warranted. A repeat of it should be met with termination of employment.Bill in Ottawanoreply@blogger.com
