"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
