Pleasegoto the NALC website and demand your congressional representative to sign on to protect our letter carrier H.R. 7629. August 4-9th most of our full-time officers will be attendingthe 2024 convention in Boston. John Ferreira, Eddie Murphy and May Abante will be here atthe Branch to answer questions and concerns while we are gone. Management has beencomplaining they lose too many grievances.One would think the logical solution is to comply with thecontract, not thecase with MGT. Instead, they continue to play thegames, lie, deny and delay. It isextremely important all stewards stay focused, futly develop all files, get extensions in writing and file all grievances, within the time lfmits. Continue to file on anyprocess violations steward time, information and/or interviews rightaway.
