 With the new Shared Services doing most of the functions of the personnel office, problems are coming up which can effect every active letter carrier.  We are asking you to call the union office when a member RETIRES or TRANSFERS to a different Post Office.  The form 50’s are not being cut in a timely manner and this will effect bidding & promotions to regular.

 Don’t forget if something is happening at your station retirements, parties, births etc let Susan Lewis the Editor of the BUZZ know early enough so it can get in the paper in time for everybody to see.

 We now have Regal movie tickets the cost is $6.50.  Flix’s movie tickets are $6.25.  With the Flix’s tickets you can see a movie the opening day without extra cost.
