District 6 Report
First of all let me thank the membership
for electing me as their district six representative of the TSALC. Now
Brothers and Sisters let’s get down to business, we have a tough road
ahead of us as letter carriers and union activists. We must keep a
watchful eye on Washington and help to ensure that HR 22 and/or the
proper form of S1507 passes into law. Since being elected as your
representative at the State convention I have attended Branch meetings
in Arlington (BR.2309) and Fort Worth (Br.226) to speak about these
important pieces of legislation and to impress upon the rank and file
membership the importance of being an automatic contributor to COLCPE. (
H.E.B.BR 5938 gets to hear it at every meeting) During my time as your
district Rep. I intend to make at least one meeting of every Branch in
the District. Brothers and Sisters it is imperative that we greatly
increase our numbers in automatic contributors to COLCPE ( payroll
deduction)
5 dollars per pay day to help to
preserve your rights, benefits, and JOB is not much to ask.
Our Brothers and Sisters who came before
us struggled long and hard to build this Union and to achieve the
benefits that we enjoy today. It would certainly be a shame if we do not
do all in our power to preserve our job and benefits for ourselves, our
families and those future letter carriers and NALC members to come after
we are gone. Please, if you are not on payroll deductions for COLCPE go
to the phone or computer and do it now. If you already contribute to
COLCPE then talk to a friend or co-worker and get someone else signed
up. P.S. If anyone would like me to attend their Branch meeting or just
wants to contact me my e-mail and phone # are available below
