New York CNN —Americans celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Columbus Day on the second Monday of October each year. Indigenous Peoples’ Day recognizes the contributions and legacy of those who lived here long before Christopher Columbus erroneously claimed to have discovered America. President Joe Biden formally recognized Indigenous Peoples’ Day in 2021 by signing a proclamation stating that federal policies “systematically sought to assimilate and displace Native people and eradicate Native cultures.”Some states officially celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day and others commemorate it through proclamations. More than 100 cities have replaced Columbus Day altogether with the holiday. Chase Bank and TD Bank will be open for Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

REUTERS/Andrew Kelly/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 6 (Reuters) - The United States Postal Service (USPS) said on Friday it wants to raise the price of first-class mail stamps to 68 cents from 66 cents effective Jan. 21.

Stamp prices are up 32% over the last four years since early 2019 when they were 50 cents. USPS has been raising stamp prices twice yearly and expects its "new pricing policy to generate $44 billion in additional revenue" by 2031.

FedEx sent a memo to its delivery force encouraging security awareness in the event of a strike. Unlike unionized UPS, FedEx uses a network of small businesses that contract out its delivery routes and make package deliveries. A FedEx spokesperson told Insider that alerting delivery contractors of potential disruptions is normal practice.

USPS and the Postal Inspection Service announced it is cracking down on robberies and mail theft. Incident rates of attacks against mail workers and theft from blue collection boxes are on the rise. But less talked about is another issue: Thieves targeting postal workers themselves.

New data from Pitney Bowes shows Amazon was the only major carrier that didn't see a drop in 2022. In 2022, delivery companies shipped 21.2 billion packages — 2.2% less than in 2021 but more than 37% higher than 2019. When retailers have less package volume to spread around, the big guys get persuasive with their discounts, Ramachandran said. But in terms of package volume, it was the only major carrier to hold its 2021 package volume in 2022. Like UPS and FedEx, Amazon may also strategically choose not to grow package volume, but not by turning down customers.

The Teamsters Union has threatened a UPS strike when its contract expires in July. UPS CEO Carol Tomé has repeatedly said that a "win-win-win" is "very achievable" for the Teamsters, UPS employees at large, and the company, despite the union's spicy rhetoric. But even the threat of a UPS strike this summer, which would be the first since 1997, is already driving some UPS customers to look for alternative shipping options. Carere also suggested that FedEx is not interested in serving as a temporary solution for UPS customers. FedEx customers were alerted to the March 31 in a letter distributed earlier this month.

The complaint specifies Johnson is suing Staab “in his individual capacity.” Johnson is seeking a jury trial and unspecified damages, according to the filing. The complaint contends that Staab's affidavit violated Johnson's right, afforded by the state constitution, to "be free of unreasonable searches and seizures." Staab then used that claim as the basis for the raid, according to a copy of the affidavit obtained by NBC affiliate KUSA of Denver. The filing claims that Staab "acknowledged to Ms. Johnson’s children the harm his DPD officers caused to Ms. Johnson’s well-being, home, and personal property," but that he told them the police department wouldn't pay for repairs from the search.

A New York City fugitive who had been on the run for almost a year was vacationing at Disney World's Animal Kingdom Theme Park when he was spotted by an officer who recognized him, according to court documents. Jeff Andre, a federal officer with the United States Postal Inspection Service, was on vacation Oct. 20 at the Florida theme park when he happened to spot Quashon Burton. Officers approached Burton after he left the Orlando area theme park, where he gave them a false name and resisted arrest. "Perhaps the most concerning factor here is the defendant’s persistent use of false identities and his demonstrated ability to evade law enforcement," wrote United States Attorney Damian Williams. Burton will remain in custody pending trial in the Southern District of New York, according to an order from United States District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.
