A brotherhood and sisterhood of solidarity

NALC is proud of its long tradition of service to the men and women who deliver the nation's mail. From its earliest years, the NALC pioneered programs for mutual support and welfare to complement its struggles for improved working conditions.

The union established the Mutual Benefit Association at its 1891 convention to offer life and other kinds of insurance to help protect letter carriers and their families. The National Sick Benefit Association was created at the 1905 convention to provide income to carriers unable to work due to accident or illness. The NALC Health Benefit Plan began offering hospitalization, surgical and other health care insurance to members in 1950.

The services of union institutions and programs supplement the everyday kindnesses NALC members deliver to one another in times of trouble. They are one more way the letter carriers of the NALC prove we stand tallest when we stand together.
