The Nation : 3 Union Chiefs Suspended

A federal agency ruled that the national presidents of three postal and federal employee unions had violated the Hatch Act by engaging in partisan political activity during the 1984 presidential campaign. In a largely symbolic move, the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board imposed a 60-day suspension from federal employment on Morris Biller, president of the American Postal Workers Union; Kenneth T. Blaylock, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, and Vincent R. Sombrotto, president of the National Assn. of Letter Carriers. The three have been on leave without pay from federal jobs for several years and are being paid by their unions.
