NALC Pioneer Branch 2 - Our Members
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, members of the NALC worked diligently to move the nations mail and parcels. Every parcel delivered represents one trip out into the public that someone was able to avoid. In this sense, letter carriers enabled millions of people to remain safer at home.
Members are particularly proud of their role in enabling the 2020 election to go along as planned, and to go along as safely as possible. In spite of the most malicious slander from some of the most ungrateful and deceitful politicians and media correspondents this nation has ever seen, 46 percent of voters chose to use the postal service to deliver their ballots. This up from just 21 percent in the 2016 election. It is a testament to the quality of service and care provided by union letter carriers that the nations voters were able to see through the propaganda, and chose USPS regardless of their personal political affiliations.
While the primary task of NALC members is to deliver the nations mail and parcels, they are also involved in a number of charitable causes. The NALC has a particularly strong bond with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, having been recognized as one of its top funders. Additionally, every year up until the Covid-19 pandemic, letter carriers engaged in the largest one-day food drive. The “stamp out hunger” food drive occurs on the second Saturday of May every year, delivering 25 billion pounds of food in the past 25 years. While the food drive was disrupted by the pandemic, online donations are still welcomed, and they hope to resume this deeply impactful event in its full capacity in the upcoming years.
