APWU Initiates Dispute Over Changes to USPS Handbook AS-805, Information Security

Posted in APWU, computer security, postal by brian on the October 27th, 2006

From the APWU Industrial Relations web site:

(Oct. 25, 2006) The APWU initiated a national dispute over the Postal Service’s announcement of revisions to the AS-805 handbook governing Information Security. The revised handbook restricts employees from bringing personal information resources (e.g. laptops, notebooks, PDAs, handheld computers and USB port devices such as flash memory sticks) into postal facilities. The union is concerned that the new restrictions may adversely impact the union’s ability to perform its duties.
