Deaf Postal Workers -- Your Views Wanted

Have you or anyone you know who is an employee of the United States Postal Service been denied interpreting services -- either before or since the Anthrax incidents -- for meetings or information sessions? If so, then you might qualify as a potential class member of a pending class action lawsuit.

Our office, in conjunction with Covington & Burling, a national law firm of the highest reputation, the National Association of the Deaf Law Center, and another public interest law firm filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of deaf postal workers nationwide. We have developed the following survey to help us get more information regarding the extent of discrimination suffered by deaf postal workers across the country.

The survey is interactive on a webpage (no printing or mailing required). We are trying to get it out to as many deaf postal workers as we can. Please feel free to distribute the link to this webpage and the survey itself, linked below.

Please contact us if you have any questions. Thanks.
