FIGHT LIKE HELL!
LETTER CARRIERS’ WORK IS HARDER THAN EVER, AND WE DESERVE HIGHER PAY:
NALC Branch 214
Harry Bridges Plaza
San Francisco, CA 94111
11 AM
2/22/26 NALC Letter Carriers Rally
The 295,000 active and retired members of the National Association of Letter Carriers are
calling for a fair contract now!
We work long hours in all elements and conditions.
There are growing safety concerns on the job, including physical threats and assaults.
Every year, our jobs become more physical. We handle more parcels than ever before,
carrying heavy loads to every home and business.
Our work is more than delivering the mail. We know our customers and are often the first
to notice something is wrong.
First-class service Deserves first-class pay:
The Postal Service, and every American, depends on letter carriers to uphold the
agency’s universal service obligation.
We deliver essential items, like pension checks and prescriptions, to every address nearly
every day.
Without our work, delivery of 376 million pieces of mail and packages to nearly 169
million delivery points every day nationwide is not guaranteed.
Our work is vital to the economy as we support small businesses across the country.
Staffing shortages and high turnover rates threaten reliable service:
Most carriers start out as non-career, meaning they earn less money and have fewer
benefits, even though they do the same work.
55 percent of non-career letter carriers leave the job within the first year.
High letter carrier retention is important for the consistent, quality and reliable service
that Americans count on.
Letter carriers deserve a fair contract. What THIS MEANS:
Higher pay, including higher starting wages.
Shorter time to reach the top of the pay scale.
An all-career workforce, with full benefits for every letter carrier from the start.
An increased uniform allowance.
A fair workroom floor where postal management holds up its end of the bargain.
