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
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.
