NALC pressing USPS on Saturday delivery: NALC is pushing the Postal Service for a full briefing on USPS’ internal study on the feasibility of eliminating Saturday delivery. That briefing is expected to take place shortly. Regardless, NALC remains adamantly opposed to ending six-day delivery, said NALC President Bill Young. See story.

NALC unrelenting on six-day delivery: "NALC has received reports that some postal managers have been telling letter carriers and other postal employees that the Postal Service has decided to drop one day of delivery each week to cut costs," says President Young. "Worse, some have suggested NALC has agreed to this change. Nothing could be further from the truth." NALC supports H.R.22, a bill that would financially help the Postal Service and make cutting a day of service unnecessary.
