Letter to the Editor I’m going to write a letter to Branch 1111 to give kudos to Julie McCormick, 3rd VP, on her knowledge and skills of communication to all members of NALC Branch 1111. I also want to address, as a member of the Retirees Committee, the need for donations for the Contra Costa and Solano County Food Banks; and also address the need to know that all offices in Branch 1111 are safe and clean for all employees and the public is safe to enter said offices. The Coronavirus is a life and death situation. Be sure to follow all the rules and instruction from the Governor of California and the medical community in handling the virus.

Surviving in a Covid-19 World By Edward P. Fletcher, President
Although the Coronavirus was discovered in late 2019 and it was in the United States prior to March of 2020, we have been knowingly living with this disease for at least four months. COVID-19 changed our everyday existence. Our freedom was redefined for our health. We were placed under strict “work and leisure” restrictions. Due to these necessary actions, many of us may be experiencing restlessness, anxiety or overall COVID-19 burnout. Whether it is a second wave, and/or the continuation of the first infestation of this terrible virus, the fact remains that the fight is far from over. In California, the numbers continue to rise at disturbing rates. As of the writing of this article on July 8, 2020, we now have 278,000 confirmed cases and 6,452 deaths. The Positive Hits Keep Coming In my last article, I touched on what protocols management must follow when there is a positive COVID-19 test in a postal installation. Early on in this continuing pandemic, a fair number of employees were quarantined due to being exposed to someone who was positive. The large majority of them tested negative, and many of us became complacent. As it stands now, the following Branch 1111 Post Offices suffered positive COVID-19 hits: Benicia (1); Concord (1); Fairfield (3); Fremont (1); Pittsburg (1); Union City (1). What also has changed is the fact that the wearing of masks is now mandatory to protect everyone’s safety and health. Although many of us, including myself, do not like wearing the masks, we must all remember that the alternative could be a visit for us or someone we love to the local hospital ICU.
specific facts of each possible exposure. But, if you live with someone who tested positive and/or who is a close contact to you, the quarantined period is 14-days. Employees must also be symptom free. Staying the Course Regardless of the mixed messaging on COVID-19, we must all continue to fight this disease by properly wearing our masks to cover your nose and chin. monitoring our daily routines and, if possible, social distancing at greater than 6 feet. It has been noted in some scientific tests, that micro droplets through breathing can stay airborne for quite a while and travel more than 6 ft. Lastly, do not let yourself become overwhelmed with all of the information on COVID-19. Try to stay positive knowing that by working together, we all can and will survive this pandemic. Remember that our health is our greatest asset. If you need to talk to someone please reach out to the union, a family member, your medical provider and/or call EAP at 1-800-3274968.
SAFE ON THE JOB
Help For COVID-19 Exposure Any employee who was exposed to COVID-19 at work and/or off the clock should immediately seek medical advice. Inform your health care provider that you are a letter carrier, an essential employee, request to be immediately tested and notify management by calling your local office. Do not call the automated system. If you test positive, you must stay home under quarantine, follow your doctor’s medical advice and report it to management. Once you recover and before coming back to work, you must be cleared by the Bay Valley’s Occupational Health Nurse Administrator (OHNA). Her name is Helen and her contact number is (510) 874-8280. The OHNA will review the information and make a final determination on the return-towork request. Generally, and as far as being cleared to return to work from a confirmed positive test, they will request a second test or retest. For quarantined employees, it depends on the 4

It’s Up To You! By Narciso Paderanga, IV, First Vice President
COVID-19.CA.gov reported on Tuesday, July 7th, 2020 “California now has 277,774 confirmed cases of COVID-19, resulting in 6,448 deaths. The number of COVID-19 related deaths increased by 1.8 percent from Sunday’s total of 6,337. The number of COVID-19 diagnostic test results in California reached a total of 4,896,370, an increase of 103,017 tests since Sunday. The rate of positive tests over the last 14 days is 6.8 percent. California’s hospitalizations due to COVID-19 increased by 199 from Sunday.” As of this day, Post Offices or stations covered by Branch 1111 have had confirmed positive cases of COVID19 from six different stations. While most of the cases were contracted from their personal lives, we still must ensure we practice social distancing at our workplace. We don’t know who may have it, which is the scary part. If you believe you have been exposed or are suffering from COVID-19 symptoms, inform your local management immediately. In addition, contact your health care provider and seek medical attention immediately, including demanding to be tested for COVID-19. The minimum requirement for a safety stand-up talk is no less than once a week. Management should also conduct safety stand-up talks whenever necessary but not less than what is required. I urge everyone to wear your face coverings at all times and wash your hands more frequently or use hand sanitizers. Until a vaccine is successfully developed for this virus, I am afraid this will be our “norm”. Management is required to provide protective equipment to all its employees. There has been a concern from the carriers that they are not readily available to them. Management’s response has been that employees were taking the whole box or more than what they need. So employees need to request from supervisors, managers or Postmasters any protective equipment they need which aren’t readily available. While I disagree with management not having specific protective equipment readily accessible to employees, I don’t disagree with its position that employees should only take what they need to perform their duties safely. Remember, we are all in this together. In general, there haven’t been a great deal of problems reported regarding personal protective equipment. The issue we’ve had is management’s immediate action or lack thereof in notifying the Branch timely when an employee tests 6
positive. The Branch certainly does not agree with the District’s policy that only positive cases need to be addressed. Personally, I strongly disagree and believe that even the slightest sign of exposure to COVID-19 by any employee must be acted upon with serious attention. Management has to do a better job in protecting all of its employees by acting immediately. It is better to be safe than sorry. It’s up to you to protect yourself and your family!

A Cheerful Heart is Good Medicine By Francisco Cabrera, Second Vice President
When I look around at my brothers and sisters in the post offices that I visit, lately I see a lot of sad faces. True sometimes we only see what is right before us and everything seems lost. Truly everything is a lot harder now than before the COVID-19 pandemic. Yes you may feel down in the dumps. Guess what though, you are not alone. I've felt the difficulties of this pandemic; the fear, the anxiety and the pain you brothers and sisters endure, whilst your management group blames every failure on you. As you deal with them in every situation such as your ad nauseam “morning commitment” debate or your afternoon holler back, remember some wise words uttered by Mark Twain: “Never argue with a fool in public lest the public not know which is which.” Visualize in your mind's eye a time when you will be able to stay up until you like and wake up whenever you like, every single day. Visualize a time when everybody you love will be provided for in abundance and you will have happy words to share with any who are facing difficulty. A time when we will once again be able to host family barbecues, eat and drink to your content with no reason to fear. That day is near, hold on for one more day.

Yes in a time of psychological struggle as this, we will have ups and downs. It will feel like we are taking one step forward and two steps back. You can be sure here at Branch 1111, the NALC, is making sure the USPS does what it has promised us, contractually, legally and morally.

Commitments By Jose Ochoa, Executive Vice President
Commitments, under time, unauthorized overtime, stationary time, expanded office or street time, and the daily morning argument about the infamous 3996 is all BS and is bad for you. My fellow carriers, let’s begin with management approaching you every morning and asking you for a “commitment”. Do not make any. Just say that you will follow rules and regulations, will work with safety first in mind. How is that for a commitment? Under time: Just because the supervisor, looking at magic numbers, decides that you are undertime which
Branch 1111 News
doesn’t make it a fact. For example, you are told that you have one hour under and they give you an one hour piece from another route. At the end of the day, you work nine hours or worked more than eight. There you go, clearly you didn’t have “under time.” Unauthorized overtime: Always, after management makes you aware you got the last pull, if you ESTIMATE that you may go over eight hours, fill out a form 3996. Don’t do a verbal agreement. While on the street, if you find out that you UNDERSTIMATED your time, then call and ask for instructions. If you hear something stupid like “the overtime is not authorized but finish the route”. Well, inherent in that statement is that the overtime is approved. The 3996 is only an estimate, not a commitment! Stationary time: Management relies 100% on faulty technology. There is always the same question “why did you have x amount of stationary time” and should always be the same answer “I was working, that’s how the route got delivered”. Management needs to demonstrate that in fact you were not working. You are not required to have the scanner with you during your lunch or bathroom visits, you may drop it in the toilet, hahaha. Expanded times: Management has to show evidence that the reasons for the alleged expanded time is due to you not doing any work. All of the above is used by management to issue disciplinary actions. So they can please the big boss, who brags about how much discipline has been given. What he never shares is the percentage of discipline that is sustained. Nothing but bogus discipline in an attempt to justify their existence. In one office, they had the projected leaving time of several routes at 7:45am. The only problem was the starting time is 8am. You can’t make this S…up! One last thing, if you don’t believe in Covid-19 and refuse to wear a mask, does that gives you the right to endanger your fellow carriers and families? How will you feel if you are the source of infection and somebody dies as a result of your selfishness. Can you live with that? What part of wearing a mask do you not understand?

number, no such zone”. The song is quite catchy and all us letter carriers can attest to delivering a letter which has the “Return to Sender” endorsement on it. Seems like the postman is stuck being the messenger in the lover’s quarrel depicted in this song.
By Julie McCormick Third Vice President
Amidst this COVID-19 Pandemic, and during these unprecedented times as letter carriers, I decided to write a not so serious article. Hopefully, to bring the membership some joy. I am sure there is not one person on the face of this planet who hates music. Everyone loves some genre of music, whether it may be the most sinister black metal to classical, opera, jazz, whatever it might be. So, with that being said, here are some songs, which reference mail in one way or another. As the title of this article implies Stevie Wonder’s mega hit “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)” was released in June of 1970 as a single and spent six weeks at the number one spot on the US R&B charts. There is no definitive story behind the premise of this hit song. However, the inference in the title “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” alludes to a man sending a letter to a girl asking for her to take him back.
Some of you may be surprised to learn the song “Please Mr. Postman” is not an original song by The Beatles. In fact, it was originally written and performed by the all women group, The Marvelettes, released August 21, 1961. This song was the first Motown single to reach number 1 on the Billboard Top 100 pop singles chart. The song is about a woman waiting for a letter from her boyfriend who is “so far away”. This song has been covered by many artists ranging from The Beatles in 1963 to the Carpenters in 1975. Elvis Presley’s 1962 hit single “Return to Sender” depicts Elvis writing a letter to his lady due to having a disagreement. He gave the letter to the postman and “he put it in his sack” and “bright and early next morning, be brought my letter back”. Turns out she was not interested in Elvis’ letter and wrote “return to sender, address unknown, no such 8
The Box Tops hit song “The Letter” was released in August of 1967 off of their 7-inch single. Which also included the song “Happy Times”. “The Letter” was arguably the bands most popular song ever released, taking the number one spot on both the US and Canadian Billboard Charts. This song is considered in the top 500 songs which shaped rock n roll according to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The song references a couple, with the boyfriend being away from the girlfriend. While he was away, “My baby, just wrote me a letter” which said, “she couldn’t live without me no more”. He must have felt the same way because he is willing to do anything to get back to his lady, exclaiming, “I don’t care how much money I gotta spend. Got to get back to my baby again”.
Care of Cell 44 is a single released by the band, The Zombies, from their 1968 album Odessey and Oracle. The song tells a story of a person writing to their partner in prison, while they are waiting for their release, with lyrics like “ I just can’t wait for your to come home to me again” and “Counting down the days until they set you free again”. Although some may assume writing to a loved one in prison would be a heartwrenching circumstance, the song is very upbeat and happy.
July 2020
British heavy metal band Saxon featured an opening track off of their 1981 album Denim and Leather, a song called “Princess of the Night” which references a train called the LMS Princess Royal Class which “used to bring the mail to me through the ice and snow”. Saxon is an amazing heavy metal band, if you are a fan of Judas Priest, King Diamond, Iron Maiden and you are a letter carrier, this song is for you!
The band Weezer, who is famous for songs like “Island in the Sun” and “Say it Ain’t So” wrote the song called “Across the Sea” off of their 1996 album Pinkerton. The song was inspired by the lead singer, Rivers Cuomo, receiving a fan letter from Japan while he was in college at Harvard. In which, a girl wrote to him asking several questions about his everyday life. The song includes a lot of these questions in the lyrics. This song is widely considered by fans of Weezer, the best overall song ever written by the band. Vallejo’s own rapper E-40’s 1993 album was entitled The Mail Man with the title track “The Mail Man”. It is a little unclear about E40s relationship with his mailman in this song. However, those of you who are Vallejo carriers and may deliver to him, maybe you can ask E40 about his references to “The Mail Man” and why he named a whole album after “The Mail Man”.
Branch 1111 News
Tupac Shakur (2Pac), considered to be one of the most influential rappers of all time, wrote a song called “Letter to the President”, alongside The Outlawz, off of the album Still I Rise in 1999. The song is an open letter from 2Pac to the President at the time, Bill Clinton, outlining his frustrations and the shortcomings of the US Government. Last but not least, it is no surprise due to The Beatles ENORMOUS catalogue of songs, that they too have their own original song about the mail. All My Loving, off of The Beatles second UK Album With the Beatles, released in 1963, was written by Paul McCartney while The Beatles were on tour in 1963 with Roy Orbison. This is the first song McCartney states where he wrote the words first. The song exclaims in the chorus “I’ll write home every day and I’ll send all my loving to you.”
Other notable mentions of “mail” themed songs; The Velvet Underground – Send No Letter, Taj Mahal – Going to the Country, Paint my Mailbox Blue, The Who – Postcard, Elton John – Postcards from Richard Nixon, James Taylor – Letter in the Mail, Brad Paisley – Letter to Me, ELO – Letter from Spain. For your listening pleasure, I have included the link to a Spotify music playlist I created. So if you are interested in listening to these songs and more, all you have to do is follow this link https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6EF9CXqmO7ZP LWAbGzCbo1?si=jUk8hAsBRJmGNV8COKH-Fg. I think one thing is for certain and it became glaringly obvious while writing this article. The Postal Service, sending, receiving, writing letters, receiving mail and postal carriers are engrained in our culture. What better way to show how important the Postal Service is than to have it memorialized through music? Some of the biggest musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries have written beautiful music about mail. It is in our blood, it is rooted in our subconscious, it transcends throughout our society and continues to do so. 9

Keep Fighting! Covid-19 Will Not Defeat Us By Terrence Lee Super, Fourth Vice President
It has been over three months since the COVID-19 hit and there’s been an abundance of death all around the world. Knowing this, it’s only natural to feel scared or afraid that either you’re going to contract the virus yourself or one of your loved ones gets it, like a parent or even your children. What makes humans so incredible is that we have such a strong will to live, and we will not allow this virus to get the best of us. But the key in doing that is to be smart! We live for social and family gatherings, but at this point-in-time and the high numbers of people testing positive for the virus, we simply cannot take the chance of this thing spreading anymore! We must be smart about this, and this is why; When this thing first hit, a lot of us carriers thought that we would get it from touching actual mail and packages, but as we now know this is not the case! In one of my offices, I have three carriers who tested positive for the virus and all three cases were from the carriers having either, a family gathering or a social gathering. They contracted the virus from one of the family members or just from another person there who had it. The main way the virus is spread is basically how we catch a cold or the flu, someone sneezes, and the particles from that sneeze gets breathed in by anyone that is around. Or someone coughs, the particles or droplets from that cough somehow get into another person through their mouth or nose. Also, a person might touch the surface that someone coughed or sneezed on and then touch their face or rub their eyes. There are so many ways this can happen, and we need to educate ourselves on how this virus is spreading and what we can do to at least slow this thing down until scientists can develop a vaccine. I know a lot of people want to go out and do what they want to. But, during this pandemic, it has to be put on hold. If we continue to do what we want, because we believe it’s our right, we’re going to end up tripling or even quadrupling these COVID numbers. Lives are at stake here and we must take responsibility for what we do and do not do. I am confident that if we suck it up for a few months and avoid large crowds and gatherings where there are people who don’t practice social distancing, we can beat this thing! I want things back to normal too, but if we don’t stop for a second and think about what’s more important, we can find ourselves contracting the virus. By then, for some people, it will be too late. Stay positive everyone and keep fighting! We are going to beat this thing. We’re all going to have wonderful and positive stories to tell. All of us at the Branch love all of you, be safe!

PHONEY BALONEY By Berkeley Steward Liz Corriea
Last month our Full-Time Officer, Jose Ochoa, said something about UPS drivers were having their vehicle cleaned after finishing their work. So I ask a couple of UPS drivers if that were true, and they said yes. Imagine that, the UPS really cares about their employees; what about the Postal Service? I am not sure they care so much. Last month, I had two supervisors watch me clean and sanitize a vehicle that I was using for that day. In fact, I was having to clean out a different vehicle every day, since my vehicle was missing. It appeared that I was taking too long to sanitize it. If you’re a carrier with underlying conditions, by all means please take extra precautions to protect yourself. You must put yourself first because my experience is that the Postal Service only cares about getting the mail out at any cost. The Coronavirus is no joke when lives are at stake. Management doesn’t care that much because they may feel that it hasn’t hit our city directly. Maybe it has and no one is saying much about it, so they don’t care that much. So be sure you get the necessary supplies to clean your vehicle and protect yourself. Don’t allow management to take away any and all safety precautions.
Berkeley’s Award winning Hydration Station
The Berkeley Blues Recently Berkeley was awarded with something to do with our Hydration Station. This was a Phony Baloney event. The display, I have to admit, was pretty nice. However, I watched management put it together one day. There was no stand-up about it, no information given, no carrier was informed what was the purpose of this display. I thought it was an early 4th of July display, until I read the “hydration station” label on it. The display sat there meaningless for all to see. Then all of a sudden, the out of control grass on the DDU property was being cut down, and the area looks good now. Obviously, this was in preparation for an event that was about to happen, and it did. Berkeley won the Hydration Station Award. Imagine that, we had management visitors from the District, who “Congratulated” us for such a great display, which not one of us carriers, had anything to do with. Our safety captains were given acknowledgement for work they had nothing to do with. Everyone was given a raffle ticket and a chance to win a prize too! Overall it was not a bad deed by management. It would have been real nice if the carriers were really involved with the Hydration Station. Maybe next time management will consider getting the carriers to participate. Then, maybe the carriers will feel like they were a part of this event, instead of being left in the dark. Oh well, we were reward with cake. I guess you can’t beat that coming from management.
