HOW TO PROPERLY SEND IN YOUR LAST PUNCH PICTURE AND WRITE UP When you are about to retire, or if you know someone who is going to retire, please make sure you follow these guidelines. My email has changed so please read the changes!! 1.) If you are planning on retiring and you wish to send in a picture, make sure your picture is taken from the waist up, and please make sure your picture is taken at the time clock. Do not send in a full-length picture. We will have to crop it, and chances are the picture will come out clearer if it is close. 2.) Before you send the picture, please, please take the time to make sure your picture comes out clear. Look at the pictures, and if it looks blurry to you then it is going to turn out that way. Your picture will not look good once it has been printed. What you see is what you get! You can send at least two pictures for us to choose from. Remember, this is your last punch you will ever make at the post office, and it is important that your picture turns out good! 3.) Whether you are sending the write up for your co-worker or if you are sending it in for yourself, please make sure you have the following information: Full name Name of the station where they made their last punch. Date of retirement How many years they worked for the post office? How many years they served in the military and which branch. What you plan on doing once you are retired Take the time to make sure the picture(s) are clear. If you have an older phone, ask a co-worker to take the picture for you. You can send all your information to me at editor@nalc.org or text me at 281-935-4131. If you send it to my email, please put in the subject bar RETIREMENT PICTURE and text me so that I will know you sent me an email. If you wish to text me the information, just make sure that I received everything you have sent. Thank you for helping me make yours or your co-workers retirement picture a memorable one! STATION PICTURES When sending in your station picture all you will need is a good quality picture. It would be great if you would send in at least 3 pictures. This way I can pick the best picture to print. I will need the name of your station and day you took the picture. You can send all your information to me at editor@nalc.org or text me at 281-935-4131. If you send it by email, please put in the subject bar STATION PICTURE and text me so that I will know you sent me an email. If you wish to text me the information, just make sure that I received everything you have sent.

I signed the paperwork and gave it our union hall president in indiana. it was basically ignored and the another branch outside of ours assigned our state president as our local steward. I have been working and researching on how to make our branch a Functioning Branch, since we were deemed a non functioning branch by the powers that be. I need help with what steps to take to actually hold an election. there are only 5 of us in our office that pay dues, and we never have had any meetings or elections before. Also, we are so short staffed that one of our members is now a 204b until we have a new supervisor hired, and that member is afraid that he or she can't vote moving forward as they want us to function properly.
