Rural letter carriers across United States, including in Oklahoma, are dealing with a new work structure that they say affects their hours and pay.

The union protecting those carriers, The National Rural Letter Carriers Association , has filed a level four class-action lawsuit, but the planned pay cuts are still scheduled.
