Southeast Pennsylvania Merged Branch Item to the July 2020 Postal Record Eric K. Jackson, Branch 725 Vice- President & Scribe Happy Fourth of July to all of our proud members. We are enduring a most trying time in our country. And letter carriers, along with this great country, are strong. First, we adjust, then we excel. And that's what you've done. During the pandemic, the greatest threat to our livelihood has been the financial hit taken by the company. This made the USPS seek funding in the first round of stimulus funding. While most private industry received billions, our company was only offered a $10 billion loan. NALC, along with all your help, went on to lobby Congress for monies that we deserve be granted, not loaned. There has been an email / letter-writing campaign daily. The death scenario was / is that without additional funding, the P.O. would run out of money by the end of September. And therefore, all your hard work with political activism is so vital. Whether you are active or retired, there are scenarios out there that can have a grave impact on your future. So, please keep up your good work of writing your representatives when asked by NALC through the NALC Member App. If you have not downloaded it to your phone or computer, please do so. It allows you to stay aware of all things pertaining to your job. The saving gracer has been parcels. They are up more than 50 percent. But parcels alone will not sustain our futures. You will! Your work ethic, integrity and political activism to lobby on our behalf will be key. So, please understand very clearly, you are the company's most valuable resource. You are the engine. You have been our saving grace. And while "hero" is thrown around loosely now, your resiliency exemplifies what it means. Through rain, sleet, snow and the bull*^t management decisions, you endure! Eric Jackson, Branch 725 |

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!
