Save Saturday Delivery
President Rolando announces petition drive.
October 20, 2011

At the National Rap Session in Las Vegas last weekend, NALC President Rolando unveiled a new petition drive as the next part of the "Save America's Postal Service" campaign.

The petition will focus on gathering signatures in support of maintaining Saturday mail delivery service to demonstrate to Congress how much the American people value this unique service. The other postal unions will be involved in collecting signatures as well.

Each petition will be mailed to its respective member of Congress. As the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the super committee) comes closer to making its decision on how to reduce the federal deficit, and considers how postal issues will fit into that decision, the time to present our plan for the future of America's Postal Service is now.

Each branch is tasked with collecting 10 times its membership size in signatures. When collecting signatures with your fellow branch members, go to high-traffic areas where many members of the public can be reached and asked them to sign the petition.

For more information, please refer to saveamericaspostalservice.org. You can download files for the petition, fliers and other materials there.

Save America's Postal Service
America's postal employees rallying September 27

During these informational rallies, Save America's Postal Service we will visit the home office of each member of the House of Representatives. We will thank those members who have signed on as co-sponsors of H.R. 1351, a bill that addresses the financial crisis facing the Postal Service. And we will encourage those who have not signed as co-sponsors of H.R. 1351 to do so. Click here to find out how you can help.

Support H.R. 1351

The NALC Communications Department would like to help you get the NALC's message out to the public. Few things are more central to our job security and our ability to provide top-flight service to the American public than countering the misleading rhetoric about the Postal Service. We need to inform people, and their elected representatives, of the real story. Click here for details...
