Burrus Addresses Letter Carriers Convention
"In a historic moment for the two major postal unions,
APWU President William Burrus delivered a speech at the
biennial convention of the National Association of Letter
Carriers. It was the first time that the top leader of either
union had spoken at a national gathering of the other
organization, and Burrus said it was symbolic of the need for
solidarity among those whose livelihood depends on the Postal
Service." -

Direct Mail Tries to Go Green. No, Really
"MOST marketers readily concede it: getting rid of direct mail
- or junk mail, as environmentalists and most recipients call
it - would save a lot of trees. But they are not about to
render bulk mailings obsolete. So a group of direct-marketing
companies, along with a handful of their corporate clients,
are banding together to make an inherently unsustainable
practice at least a little bit greener." -

USPS Announces 'Green Fleet' Testing Strategy
"The U.S. Postal Service will outline its strategy for
converting to an environmentally friendly, non-petroleum based
alternative fuel vehicle fleet to replace 195,000 delivery
vehicles and will announce an alternative fuel vehicle test.
On July 23, General Motors will turn over the keys of a
Hydrogen Fuel Cell (HFC) vehicle to the USPS for testing in a
mail delivery environment. HFC vehicles are unique in that
they are battery powered and have no ill effects on the
environment and their only emission is water. The USPS's
director of R&D will outline the strategy for testing
alternate fuel vehicles and for converting to a green delivery
fleet." -

Udall Takes Postal Service to Task
"Albuquerque isn't the only place in New Mexico that's
having post office problems. Rep. Tom Udall, D-N.M., on Friday
sent a letter to Postmaster General John E. Potter saying he
has received numerous complaints from citizens in Santa Fe and
other areas of District 3 about shoddy mail service. In the
letter, Udall asks for "further written explanation of the
situation, as well as monthly updates from both your
Washington, D.C., office and your local (USPS) representatives
on the steps being taken to address this situation." "The
large number of complaints and recent news stories regarding
serious delays in mail delivery has made me very concerned
about the management of postal facilities and operations in
New Mexico," Udall wrote." -

Gas prices fuel postal experiment
"Michelle Wilson, 47, has been a letter carrier seven years.
She said she has gone from walking three hours to between four
and five hours a day. Wilson said she and many of her
co-workers have been working longer hours - sometimes 10 to 12
hours a day. Mike Williams, president of the Denver branch of
the National Association of Letter Carriers, said he generally
disagrees with changing routes to walking routes. "I have
e-mails in the double digits from carriers forced to work
overtime that didn't sign up for the overtime," he said.
"Adding delivery stops to each route in Colorado and walking
routes increases hours." -

Postal worker shot and killed at W. Virginia post office
"A West Virginia postal worker who was shot at a
Moundsville-area post office Friday has died from her wounds.
Lua Wolverton, 35, was pronounced dead at Ruby Memorial
Hospital. Wolverton was the Post Master for the small
community of Dallas. Police have arrested 39-year-old Todd
Dolin, who was found in Zanesville, Ohio. They plan to charge
him with 1st degree murder in Wolverton's death. Sheriff John
Gruzinskas said Wolverton was shot twice at work, but was able
to describe her attacker in a 911 call to police. Gruzinskas
said Wolverton and Dolin had a "familiar relationship," but
did not elaborate." |
