I recently had the opportunity to attend WAPWU's Fall Seminar, which was held in Everett, WA, this year. Once again, we received terrific training, and there were national as well as state officers present. Without fail, our state manages to provide union members with the most comprehensive training possible. I'm very appreciative of that, and I encourage everyone who is able to attend our State Convention in May or Steward's College in July to make the effort to be there. It's well worth your while.
The election is finally over and President Obama is back in office. He may not be the perfect President, but he's certainly a better choice for the Postal Service, organized labor, and working families. Time will tell what happens with the USPS and legislation in Washington DC in the coming year, but I know all of us will be watching with great interest.
The holidays are upon us and volumes have already been increasing even in our small office. Management may be trying to get away with performing bargaining unit work; keep an eye on them, and note any time they spend doing bargaining unit work. It's your job and your hours that you're protecting. Your union can't represent you if you aren't willing to be part of the process.
In solidarity,
Maria
