Welcome to our website!

Contacting NBAs by E-mail

We have found the "contact us" page on our site is not the most efficient way to contact the NBAs in our office by email.  Please use the email addresses listed below to contact the NBAs directly.  Thank you.

Bob Kessler (Clerk craft)  --  rkessler@apwu.org
Dennis Taff (Clerk craft) -- dtaff@apwu.org
(When emailing your clerk NBAs, please send your questions to both NBAs.  Thanks.)

Influenza Concerns

The Postal Service has just issued (September 24, 2009) new reqirements for cleaning tasks in the event of a flu outbreak.  These requirements are detailed in MMO-109-09 and are stated in emphatic terms -- they must be observed during the current flu season, Autumn 2009 through April 2010.  These cleaning requirements are additional to the normal MS-47 cleaning requirements for every postal facility.

Arbitration Award - "Borrowing" casuals

There is no contractual basis for “borrowing” someone else’s casual! The Postmaster in an office of less than 200 “borrowed” a casual hired in another smaller office nearby.  The arbitrator found no contractual basis for borrowing casuals between smaller offices.
