Serving letter carriers in Arizona, Arkansas,
Colorado, Oklahoma and Wyoming

Roger W. Bledsoe, National Business Agent

Roger W. Bledsoe is the national business agent for Region 4, which serves the letter carriers of Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Wyoming. President Bill Young appointed him NBA in May 2009 following the retirement of Wes Davis.

Bledsoe, a member of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Branch 458, became a letter carrier and NALC member in 1980.

Since then, he has served as shop steward, as well as his branch’s director of safety and health, trustee and recording secretary. Later, he worked with USPS as part of the Union Management Pairs program and on the Oklahoma district’s Dispute Resolution Team, and served as an arbitration advocate.

“The way I saw postal management treating letter carriers convinced me that I needed to get involved,” Bledsoe said.

In 1998, President Vincent R. Sombrotto named Bledsoe a Regional Administrative Assistant for Region 4. Now, as NBA, Bledsoe wants “to see that every letter carrier is treated with dignity and respect,” he said.

“I want to ensure that every letter carrier can enjoy coming to work and can return home following a day at work,” he said.

Bledsoe has studied at Rose State College in Midwest City, Oklahoma, as well as at South Oklahoma City College. He and his wife, Melinda, have two daughters, Brooke and Jessica. Jessica and her husband, the son of a Goshen, Indiana letter carrier, are the parents of Bledsoe’s granddaughter, Cadence.
