Southeast Pennsylvania Merged Branch Item to the November 2020 Postal Record Eric K. Jackson, Branch 725 Vice- President & Scribe During this month of Thanksgiving, President Les Dillman and the executive board would like to thank each member of this branch. This has been a most challenging year for us all. But we cannot gloss over one of the most obvious acknowledgments. And that is to give thanks to one another. Yes, we have been pulled in all directions by the ramifications of this pandemic. We are tired, overworked and under- appreciated by postal management. But let us not be like them! We have done our best to get every member the service provided to each carrier through the various memorandums agreed to by NALC/USPS. Many members have had to stay home for various reasons. Instead of judging them, let us understand them. For that could very well be you told to quarantine or left without childcare because of the pandemic. And praise to all the other members forced to work extraordinary hours. I have noticed the short tempers and frustration that this has caused. Let us just be mindful that our unity and resilience are some of our most valued characteristics. Many of our offices were so short-handed that managers had to carry mail. I wasted no time in trying to organize a “carry off” with my postmaster and another. I could not resist the opportunity to let them know that we are working 12 hours a day. If they took 10 hours to work what it takes for us to work five hours, then do not act like you have street credibility with us (LOL). But through it all, I would like to share with you what was asked of me by my postmaster: “What does your check look like?” “It looks like I have been working harder than you!” #WeAreBranch725AndProudOfIt! #We ThankYouBecauseWithoutYouThereIsNoUs!

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.

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!
