*Dozens of Georgia’s unionized letter carriers held a rally over the weekend for better pay as part of a nationwide day of protest.

Literature provided by the labor union says the requests include higher pay, including higher starting wages, shorter time to reach “top of pay scale,” and full benefits. Negotiations between the union and the Postal Service for letter carriers’ next contract begin Wednesday.
*The former city manager of a southwest Georgia city has been found dead, just days after being released from jail.
