Texas State Association of Letter Carriers - AFL-CIO

President Micky Morris

TSALC President Micky Morris

I had three pages of information, opinions, and ideas to report to you in this article, but upon reflection, why write all that because it all broke down to this; if you, each and every letter carrier, does not make one simple decision, what I have to write won’t make any difference to thousands of you because you won’t be in this union anymore.  Those thousands won’t be in this union because you have to work for the Postal Service to be in the NALC, and you will not be working there. More

Vice President Bradley Ramey  

 What a great place to hold a National Convention!  Delegates were blessed with WONDERFUL weather – what a great break that was from the hottest Texas Summer in 120 years.

Our newly elected National President, Fred Rolando, did an exceptional job conducting the convention.    More

Telethon  
Telethon appearances: NALC President Fred Rolando and letter carriers representing the top fund-raising branches in the country will present a check for $1.9 million to the Muscular Dystrophy Association during the 2010 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon this weekend. Click here to find out more.

Fred V. RolandoOn the record: NALC President Rolando testified before a congressional committee hearing on the Postal Service's action plan for the future, which includes the possibility of cutting a day of mail delivery service each week. "We think this would be a blunder of the first order—saving very little money and risking the loss of much more revenue over time," he said. Click here to read his complete testimony

Bills advancing: After reports confirmed that the USPS was overcharged anywhere between $50 billion and $75 billion for pension costs related to service performed by the taxpayer-supported Post Office Department before 1971, Rep. Stephen Lynch introduced H.R. 5746, a bill designed to help correct this error. Click here to read more


Six-day delivery preserved...for now: In two clear victories for letter carrier activism, the full Senate Appropriations Committee has approved Fiscal Year 2011 bills that leave six-day mail delivery intact—and the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services marked up its bill, with language on six-day delivery untouched as well. Click here to read news coverage.

A threat to our collective bargaining agreement: Meanwhile, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) has introduced H.R. 5919, a bill the NALC feels would give the USPS authority to randomly assign 12 furlough days a year, thus directly interfering with our collective bargaining agreement. We will continue efforts to pass H.R. 5746 since it would provide the Service with significantly more financial relief than H.R. 5919 would, with no impact on letter carriers' pay and benefits.

You can help 'Save Saturday Delivery': The NALC has launched a nationwide campaign to stop the USPS from making "a big mistake." You can do your part by submitting comments to the Postal Regulatory Commission's website. Click here to find out how.
