Hi, I'm Rob Wojciechowski, Editor of "The Informer" and of
"Postal Note".
This site is presented as a way of exchanging information with other Branches of the National Association of Letter Carriers and to give our online members a reference to back issues.
To view, you'll need
Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Please take your time to examine each Branch's offerings. Comments are always welcome. If you have an NALC site, please submit your link and I will endeavor to load it ASAP.

Eye on the Postal Service

These columns by Joe Scarzhoni look at the unseen side of "Big Blue Bird" with common sense but,
sometimes, scathing commentary.

"How Would YOU Fight It?"
A monthly column by Branch 74 Vice President and steward, John Hofmann, the presented scenarios
encourages members to think out the possible
contract and/or manual violations the fictitious carrier has encountered. They are listed here, not by date, but rather by NALC/USPS contract provision and then by citing Postal Manuals.

At the 2000 NALC National
Convention in Chicago, I was
honored to receive the 2nd Place Award for Outstanding Publications for small branches (less than 500 members). At the time, I was the editor of NALC Branch 4800's Duneland Sandscript from
Chesterton, Indiana where we had 19 members.
The submissions for 2008's
competition are presented on these pages representing Saginaw Branch 74's, The Informer. Results will be announced at the 2008 NALC National Convention
in Boston.
Wish me luck
I wish to thank everyone who has made suggestions to make this a more user-friendly site. Since it's inception, sections have been created and a site map added.
I still have more to add so come back again.
