Original Toronto Star caption: How to picket in the rain; Pickets Bernie Gorman (left) and Merton Ryan ducked into telephone booths to escape driving rain yesterday outside the post office on Front St. Mediation talks continue in the dispute over automation that has crippled postal service across the country. About 800 of the 2;000 letter carriers in Metro voted about 60 per cent against striking but agreed almost unanimously to honor mail sorter' picket lines.
