Y'all have your own protected group and that hate site for Hillary fans. Please go home.

(49,429 posts)My IPad has a small screen. It was an honest mistake, as you know, I have never posted here before.
That being said, facts are good to know. The NALC, represents letter carriers. APW represents clerks, mail handlers and custodians.

(49,429 posts)bargaining agreement with the US Postal Service. That ended 25-30 years ago when then,NALC president, Vincent Sombrotto asked the NALC membership to part ways with APW. Sombrotto, being the strong union leader he was, believed the clerk Union leadership was allowing the USPS too many concessions.
Naturally, clerks and carriers get along fine at each facility/post office. They inter marry and attend social functions together.
When it comes to union business, including politics, shop stewards of each union, follow the directives and recommendations of national headquarters in Wash. D.C..
Bulletin boards in facility break rooms inform members which house representatives, senators support the Unions and USPS. Privitization of the Postal Service has been the biggest concern of both unions since Newt Gringrich was Speaker.

(49,429 posts)The NALC and American Postal Workers unions represent different crafts within the U.S. Postal Service.
The AFL-CIO affiliated NALC has over 300,000 active and retired members.
