Southeast Pennsylvania Merged Branch Item to theJune 2019 Postal Record Eric K. Jackson, Branch 725 Scribe The best days of branch 725 are yet to come. I know that sounds odd but that is the attitude we all must have if we are to get where we need to go as a branch. We must stay hungry and work harder and (more importantly) smarter in order to serve our members in this ever-changing USPS. Last month, Vice-President Les Dillman held a class at the Coatesville PO for our members for their full inspection. The training was well attended. The subject matter addressed almost every aspect of the process. If you have ever talked to Les, you know he has a passion for route inspection. His knowledge and experience greatly benefit Branch 725. Kudos to the members who attended. Management has made no bones about it that they are coming for routes. And in this environment of reactionary and alarmist management we have to fight for what’s ours. #Fthem! We had another successful fundraiser for MDA at our annual event. The fellowship and family fun reign second only to the money raised for MDA. Great job by the events committee (chaired by Colleen Haynes. Members are Shirley Hagner, Joseph Pease, Steven Curry, Belinda Tridente, and Joe Benning). The upcoming Phillies outing promises to be another chance to share time together as a family. The Phillies game proceeds benefit the Branch scholarship fund. We also held an event organized by NALC Leadership Academy class #24 member Beth Lloyd to reach out to our CCAs. It was a big hit and well attended. Our future rests on the backs of our CCAs. We will continue to invest in their growth because the next branch leaders will move forward from the seeds of knowledge that we plant amongst them. But currently, our focus remains on you! Eric Jackson, Branch 725 |

NALC members from Pennsylvania on Capitol Hill More than 100 letter carrier activists from Pennsylvania traveled to Washington, DC, June 6 and 7 to educate their members of Congress on issues of importance to letter carriers, including NALC’s priority resolutions. Click here to read more. Resolutions update With 221 co-sponsors on H.Res. 15 (six-day mail delivery) and 237 on H.Res. 28 (door delivery), both measures would almost certainly pass the House if put to a vote. Thank you for your hard work on these resolutions—but we can’t stop now. Congress still needs education from letter carriers on these resolutions, as well as on H.Res. 31 (service standards), which needs more co-sponsors. All of these resolutions have seen broad bipartisan support in previous Congresses, and our progress toward exceeding a majority of voting co-sponsors for each is on track. There’s more work to do—keep it up. H.Res. 15 (six-day mail delivery): —221 co-sponsors Click here to find out whether your rep is a co-sponsor.
