Letter Carriers Resist After-Dark Delivery
"Letter Carriers (NALC) in Chicago held a public protest in September against late start times and after-dark delivery.

Delivery after dark is dangerous—and not just in high-crime neighborhoods. “Try doing anything in the dark,” he said. “Try cutting the grass. Yeah, you maybe can get it done, but it’s a whole hell of a lot easier when the sun is out, isn’t it?"
