This page will be for ideas and thoughts on what steps rural carriers can take to move forward and try to recover the losses we have had in the last few years

We are here to help get out the vote!!!  

One of the most important rights rural carriers have as members of the NRLCA is voting on the delegates

we send to the National Convention..  

The delegates we send to the convention literally control this union.

Voting on delegates is the next best thing to being at the convention to vote yourself..

 

Our first goal is to raise awareness of just how important it is to vote for your delegates.  

Our second goalis to try to give some information on who the delegates are and how they feel about the issues.

The National Board has been receiving numerous reports from the field concerning problems with the 2008 National Mail Count. In addition, information has been and continues to be provided by rural carriers to the respective state steward, the respective NRLCA Executive Committeeman, or other National Officers regarding the mail count. All reports and information are being reviewed and investigated.
Because of the volume of information being collected and the time required to review and evaluate such material, the National Board determined that it was necessary to initiate a grievance at the Step 4 level in order to protect the interests of all rural carriers. Therefore, a Step 4 level grievance has been filed by President Pitts. The National Board will keep the membership apprised of any significant development related to this grievance.
