DESCRIPTION:FIGHT LIKE HELL!\nLETTER CARRIERS’ WORK IS HARDER THAN EVER, AND WE 
 DESERVE HIGHER PAY: \n\nNALC Branch 214 \nHarry Bridges Plaza \nSan 
 Francisco, CA 94111 \n11 AM \n2/22/26 NALC Letter Carriers Rally \n\nThe 
 295,000 active and retired members of the National Association of Letter 
 Carriers are \ncalling for a fair contract now! \n\nWe work long hours in 
 all elements and conditions. \n\nThere are growing safety concerns on the 
 job, including physical threats and assaults. \n\nEvery year, our jobs 
 become more physical. We handle more parcels than ever before, \ncarrying 
 heavy loads to every home and business. \n\nOur work is more than 
 delivering the mail. We know our customers and are often the first \nto 
 notice something is wrong. \n\nFirst-class service Deserves first-class 
 pay: \n\nThe Postal Service, and every American, depends on letter carriers 
 to uphold the \nagency’s universal service obligation. \nWe deliver 
 essential items, like pension checks and prescriptions, to every address 
 nearly \nevery day. \nWithout our work, delivery of 376 million pieces of 
 mail and packages to nearly 169 \nmillion delivery points every day 
 nationwide is not guaranteed. \nOur work is vital to the economy as we 
 support small businesses across the country. \n\nStaffing shortages and 
 high turnover rates threaten reliable service: \n\nMost carriers start out 
 as non-career, meaning they earn less money and have fewer \nbenefits, even 
 though they do the same work. \n55 percent of non-career letter carriers 
 leave the job within the first year. \nHigh letter carrier retention is 
 important for the consistent, quality and reliable service \nthat Americans 
 count on. \n\nLetter carriers deserve a fair contract. What THIS MEANS: 
 \n\nHigher pay, including higher starting wages. \nShorter time to reach 
 the top of the pay scale. \nAn all-career workforce, with full benefits for 
 every letter carrier from the start. \nAn increased uniform allowance. \nA 
 fair workroom floor where postal management holds up its end of the 
 bargain. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2026/02/20/18884288.php
