Happy New Year! A new year is a time of renewed energy. We welcome that and the spirit it entails. But let’s not get it misunderstood, the challenge is the race to information/ knowledge.
Our next generation of union members has joined us at an inopportune time. The last three years have handicapped us because we were in “survival” mode. But now we must wake everyone up to the reality of NALC/USPS relations and what the company will expect from us. The problem with the company will always be its lack of vision and its misdirected energy.
They should not focus on the fallacy of discipline. Because of us, the USPS made $78.5 billion in revenue in 2022. So instead of “riding our backs to billions,” it should be “riding our brains to billion.” The emphasis must be more union collaborative. We have so much to offer.
You move this company, this country, and therefore, this world’s economy! But with great opportunity comes great responsibility. So, let’s take this company to the next level so our membership reaps the rewards of that next level.
Our branch will push forward to therefore mentioned end. The way we progress is now and always will be through training and personal development. The power of information will always prevail. But also, the power of love over hate.
Let’s go to work, have fun, and enjoy our selves as we progress. Laughter has always been a part of the culture of the workroom floor. It’s how we have always dealt with stress. It can never be eliminated from our day to day.
The Media Post Office will be hosting its annual Groundhog Day pancake charity breakfast. It will take place at the beginning of February. Please contact the union office for details.
Stay unified!
