Hey NALC Branch 17 Members!

​I hope everyone is hanging in there during this busiest time of year!  Not only is parcel volume up, and everyone rushing around for the upcoming holidays increasing traffic, we have the snow and cold to deal with!!  Oh yeah, and undertime?!?!?!?  Like really.  With that all being said I hope everyone is being safe and that you all have a chance to take a moment to enjoy this time of year. 

Our Retiree/Christmas Party was held this past Saturday at the Waldorf Park Social Club located on East Mountain.  I hope everyone that attended had a great time.  It was nice to see past retirees and to honor our 3 that attended.  The food was excellent!! The evening was nice and relaxing.  And... I hope everyone made it home safe since it was lightly snowing that evening.  I didn't think I would be able to attend this year, but it worked out, and I'm so happy I did.

For anyone interested, there still has been no results from the climate study done back in February! It has been inquired about with no answer in return.  My update to this is that there was a "lite" version of a climate study done last week.  I was on vacation and found out just about it.  So, I guess we'll wait for these results as well!!!

Next, is my Christmas wish.  I am a Hallmark movie fan so this seems appropriate!  So, my Christmas wish for everyone to have a safe and happy holiday season.  For everyone to be kind to each other.  For no shouting/screaming on the work floor.  For people to help their fellow worker because we all want to get home.  For everyone to be a union strong collective group.  I can wish!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!  HAPPY HOLIDAYS!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!  TO ALL MEMBERS!!!!

BE SAFE!!!! CATCH YA IN 2026!!!
