APWU: E! Television Series Is Offensive to Postal Workers
"In a crass display of sensationalism, E! Entertainment
Television is broadcasting a series titled Going Postal: 15
Shocking Acts of Violence. "The title of the series is an
affront to more than 700,000 hard-working postal employees who
are stigmatized by the cruel stereotype that suggests that
postal workers are violent sociopaths," APWU President William
Burrus wrote in a letter to Brian L. Roberts, Chairman and CEO
of Comcast, which owns E! "Of course, statistics show that
postal employees are no more likely to engage in acts of
violence than the public at large, "the union president said." - Videos:

"The passage of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement
Act in December 2006 did not change the fundamental mission of
