"Although it is true that only about 20 percent of American workers are in unions, that 20 percent sets the standards across the board in salaries, benefits and working conditions. If you are making a decent salary in a non-union company, you owe that to the unions.  One thing that corporations do not do is give out money out of the goodness of their hearts."   Molly Ivins

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.
