Southeast Pennsylvania Merged Branch Item to the June 2020 Postal Record Eric K. Jackson, Branch 725 Vice- President & Scribe I take my hat off to the most loyal, dependable and prideful employees in the world. Yes, you letter carriers. What you displayed this past to the world and your customers is truly admirable! Thanks to Branch 725 President Les Dillman, this branch has steadied the ship in the most trying time. Les answered your questions and endured both day/night telecons. And if you think those rules were confusing, then ask Les. He might say yes, but he worked through the initial stages of the pandemic seamlessly. Also, the stewards did a fantastic job through this trying time. You exhibited leadership that is to be applauded. It's not easy to relay the unpleasant that we had to disseminate. When we talk about heroes, you are among the elite. Let's be honest, at any time were you scared? I was. But we show the way, not show fear. I saw no fear in my brethren. What people showed were intellectual choices. So many of us support people and family members who have compromising health issues that we had to make choices that place us out of work. I salute you! This issue is no joke. Death is final. But through it all, stewards (including myself) had to endure more discipline that was place on carriers. Some offices had less awareness for the pandemic. They still practiced their bu@*$^it! So, among enduring the travails of life, carriers had to endure the travails of the Postal Service. For that, you are to be applauded. Because we all know what that means. That's why this executive board serves you. We have been and will be there for you until the end. Let's use this as a steppingstone rather than a boulder! You held this country together! #UnityPrevailsThroughChallenges Eric Jackson, Branch 725 |

You must be a registered voter to submit an application to vote by mail. We do not know what life will look like on June 2nd. Pennsylvania stay at home orders have been extended until June 4th for our area. If you have not submitted an application for a mail in ballot, please do so as soon as possible.

April 22, 2020 Action Needed Political Liaison - Belinda Tridente Friends this might be the most critical time in the history of the US Postal Service! The NALC is asking you to call-write-email your US House Representative and US Senators. Implore them to provide the US Postal Service with full funding in the next economic stimulus bill. Unfortunately, without full funding, this pandemic crisis may well cause the USPS to run out of the resources that are necessary for us to provide universal service to every home and business in America and our territories. We are faithfully delivering critical items including medications and checks throughout this pandemic. Please help us get through this rough time. Have your family and friends call-write-email their US House Representative and US Senators too!
