A lot of the sorting for the ARRL outgoing QSL Bureau is done by volunteers.  I 
have a couple of friends who have done quite a lot of it.

Two points ---

1) A number of US organizations have their own internal "bureaus".  Haven't 
heard of any of them going to prison.

2) The card sorters at Newington are our employees.  If they object to the 
workload, they are free to consider other opportunities.
