Southeast Pennsylvania Merged Branch Item to the June 2020 Postal Record Eric K. Jackson, Branch 725 Vice- President & Scribe I take my hat off to the most loyal, dependable and prideful employees in the world. Yes, you letter carriers. What you displayed this past to the world and your customers is truly admirable! Thanks to Branch 725 President Les Dillman, this branch has steadied the ship in the most trying time. Les answered your questions and endured both day/night telecons. And if you think those rules were confusing, then ask Les. He might say yes, but he worked through the initial stages of the pandemic seamlessly. Also, the stewards did a fantastic job through this trying time. You exhibited leadership that is to be applauded. It's not easy to relay the unpleasant that we had to disseminate. When we talk about heroes, you are among the elite. Let's be honest, at any time were you scared? I was. But we show the way, not show fear. I saw no fear in my brethren. What people showed were intellectual choices. So many of us support people and family members who have compromising health issues that we had to make choices that place us out of work. I salute you! This issue is no joke. Death is final. But through it all, stewards (including myself) had to endure more discipline that was place on carriers. Some offices had less awareness for the pandemic. They still practiced their bu@*$^it! So, among enduring the travails of life, carriers had to endure the travails of the Postal Service. For that, you are to be applauded. Because we all know what that means. That's why this executive board serves you. We have been and will be there for you until the end. Let's use this as a steppingstone rather than a boulder! You held this country together! #UnityPrevailsThroughChallenges Eric Jackson, Branch 725 |

The President's Report Les Dillman May 28, 2020 Scholarship Deadline Extended The deadline for the Branch 725 Scholarship applications has been extended another 60 days until August 15th. If you don't have everything you need please just send in what you have with a note explaining what is missing and why. We understand there are issues getting some of the items right now and that is why we have decided to extend the deadline. May 22. 2020 Have A Happy Memorial Day Weekend On behalf of the Executive Board I would like to wish all of our members and their families a happy Memorial Day weekend. These are weird times we are going through right now and I know a lot of you have been waiting for it to end and we can all go back to normal. Please realize we are not out of the woods yet and be careful. Especially if you plan on being anywhere or doing anything with groups of people. Stay safe. Les May 20, 2020 Message From State President Paul Rozzi Brothers and Sisters I received this message from our State Association President Paul Rozzi. Please do all you can to encourage everyone to get our message to Congress so the Postal Service gets the funds it needs to survive. This is a real threat. Thanks, Les ALERT urge congress to include USPS in next round Good morning all, I hope this email finds you healthy and doing as well as can be expected under the current set of circumstances. I wanted to thank those of you that started contacting congress early and have continued to do so. I reviewed the data and saw many of your names listed as having made those contacts. I expected to see most of those names listed. I was however, dismayed at the names that were missing. I do not understand why all letter carriers wouldn't be willing to do their part, especially the leaders. The demise of the Postal Service and our jobs hang in the balance. The public has a stake in this but we can't expect them to act unless we lead the way. Likewise, as NALC leaders we shouldn't expect our members to act unless we lead the way. Some 300 letter carriers attended the Region 12 WEBeX meeting last week and there seems to be a bit of a surge in contacts made. This is good news but we need more for this to work. Please do all you can to encourage contacts made through the NALC app and by any other means. As you have been made aware encouraging coworkers to participate in this process is not a Hatch Act violation. The Postal Service is not at fault in any way for the current situation. Covid-19 and it's affects have been devastating to the economy and the USPS, but this crisis is being used to bring about its demise. We can win this if we take action. Thank you all in advance. Let's get this done. Paul Rozzi PSALC Pres. |

May 12, 2020 A Message From Our Director Of Education Joe Pease Thank you all for representing our members through an extremely difficult time. We are available for any shop steward training or information that you may need. We can adjust to these challenging times. The Pennsylvania Primary has been postponed until June 2nd. This primary election will mark the first time that Pennsylvania voters have the option of casting their ballots by mail. You do not have to provide a reason as you would with an absentee ballot. If you would like to vote by mail for the June 2nd primary, your completed application must be received in your county office by 5 p.m. on May 26, 2020. You must be a registered voter to submit an application to vote by mail. We do not know what life will look like on June 2nd. Pennsylvania stay at home orders have been extended until June 4th for our area. If you have not submitted an application for a mail in ballot, please do so as soon as possible. This is the link to check your voter registration status. https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/Pages/voterregistrationstatus.aspx This link will allow you to apply for the mail in ballot. https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/OnlineAbsenteeApplication/#/OnlineAbsenteeBegin Please remember that we cannot talk politics while on the clock or in uniform. Thanks again for all that you do, Joe Pease |
April 22, 2020 Action Needed Political Liaison - Belinda Tridente Friends this might be the most critical time in the history of the US Postal Service! The NALC is asking you to call-write-email your US House Representative and US Senators. Implore them to provide the US Postal Service with full funding in the next economic stimulus bill. Unfortunately, without full funding, this pandemic crisis may well cause the USPS to run out of the resources that are necessary for us to provide universal service to every home and business in America and our territories. We are faithfully delivering critical items including medications and checks throughout this pandemic. Please help us get through this rough time. Have your family and friends call-write-email their US House Representative and US Senators too!

May 29, 2020 Retirement - Matt Heavens - Media Office Andy Kearney - Director Of Retirees I had the pleasure of witnessing Matt Heavens being acknowledged for his 41 years 11 months of service to the Media Post Office. Many people bared witness to the dedication Matt had not only to his job and coworkers but the community he served as well. Matt is a throw back Mailman. His concern for his customers and the level of service they received was always his top priority. Gerry Gallagher called him the unofficial Mayor of Media. He will be sorely missed. |
