Where's Jesse, where's Sharpton, where's Barack, and most importantly, where's justice? Where are the people who fight for the poor and middle class when they're out of camera range?

The United States Postal Service’s Criminal Assault on the Middle Class, and the Illusion of American Justice

.

Thousands of people have been following the story of Ms. JoAnn Snow’s pursuit of justice within the Los Angeles District of the United States Postal Service. This woman was literally being forced to work for free, as are many others within the postal service. Then when clear evidence was revealed to document her abuse, the officials and governmental agencies mandated to protect her interest closed ranks to protect her abusers, and thereby, the agency's very lucrative status quo.
.
Prior to deciding to stand up for her rights, Ms. snow was not only coerced into working twelve hours a day and more, but robbed of her compensation. Then when she decided not to take it anymore, she became the subject of reprisal for having the audacity to complain to the Office of Inspector General - and not only from her bosses, but the OIG’s office itself. But she wasn't surprised. She was prepared for it, because this is business as usual within the United States Postal Service. As late as yesterday, a manger who is also considering coming forward advised me that she was also being force to work twelve hours a day, six days a week, without proper compensation.
.
So the interest in this case has been with good cause, because Ms. Snow’s ordeal is the perfect metaphor for the blatant corporate, and now, governmental assault on the American middle class as a whole. But when I promised to keep you abreast of the twists and turns in this particular case, I thought it was simply going to be the story of a middle-class worker’s struggle to finally obtain justice. But instead, it has not only become the story of governmental extortion, threats, and collusion, but the clear demonstration that justice has become nothing more than an illusion for the American middle class:

Good morning Mr. Wattree.

My name is Wanda Spencer. My husband was Steven L. Spencer, a twenty seven year employee of the USPS. He died June 2, 2009 by self inflicted gun shot wound. This was done at the USPS annex Gastonia, NC. He was being harrassed by postal management. He had kept a notebook on all his time clocks. There were also other notes depicting his harrassment. On the day of his death postal management changed his clock rings. They changed them "five different times in three days". I would like for you to see the articles on my husbands death. It is documented on Postal Mag and the Gaston Gazette. I am presently pursueing legal action. Also there is a documentary being made at this time with Steve being part of the story line. I think you may be able to contribute to this film. I would like to make a difference in seeing all injustices of the postal service made public. I think if the public knew what the usps is doing to them there would be change. I believe that change has to come when the public realizes how much money is used to cover up such injustices as Ms. Snow and my husband. I intend to make my husbands death a rallying cry for justice. Thank you for listening to my cry. May God Bless. wss
