The Washington postal community is all a'twitter with "news" that the Senate soon will take up a postal reform bill on the floor. Okaaayyyy. And will there be the votes to ensure Senate floor passage? And will there be sufficient support in the House? And do we really expect House and Senate Republicans to be in the mood to sing "Kumbaya" as they give a legislative accomplishment to House and Senate Democrats as well as a Democratic President who's up for re-election?

The NALC has learned that 218 House members from both parties—a majority—have now signed on as co-sponsors of H.Res. 137, the measure introduced by Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO) that expresses the sense of the House that the USPS should take "all appropriate measures" to ensure continuation of six-day delivery. "Our members' hard work continues to pay off," NALC President Fredric Rolando said. "This level of support will shore up our defense against the attempts by Congressman Darrell Issa and others to 'save' the Postal Service by cutting service—a counterproductive proposal that would surely fail if implemented."

To All APWU Crafts:
If you receive any official letters notifying you that your job is to be changed, abolished, duties added, duties taken away or time changed, please notify the Union Office AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
The Postal Service is taking actions concerning employees jobs, and are deceiving you into thinking that the APWU is aware, this is not true. The Union HAS NOT been getting the notifications as required.
Again, if there are any actions affecting your jobs, please notify the Union Office ASAP at 271-0853 or fax a copy of the letter to 224-6221.
The job you save may be your own!!!!
