Letter Carriers from the Woonsocket Rhode Island Post Office voted to join the National
Association of Letter Carriers on 3/16/1890. |

Woonsocket Post Office Built 1910 This building was occupied until the new Post Office was Built in 1975 |
The National Association of Letter Carriers is the union of city delivery Letter
Carriers working for the United States Postal Service. |
In 1889, the Milwaukee Letter Carriers, knowing many of their fellow carriers would
be attending the Grand Army of the Republic Encampment in their city that summer,
issued an official Call to meet during the reunion to form a national association
and act on other matters of importance to letter carriers and their families.
|
Heeding the call, 60 letter carriers from 18 states gathered in the meeting room
above Schaefer's Saloon. On August 29, 1889, they unanimously adopted a resolution
to form the National Association of Letter Carriers. The next day, the convention
elected officers and adopted a number of resolutions. |
There are 304,734 members of the NALC, of which about 214,042 are active city
delivery Letter Carriers employed by the U.S. Postal Service. There are slightly more than 2,600 local branches representing Letter Carriers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam. Branch 54 has 76 members, 56 Active and 20 retired. |

In 1835 a fire at Canal Square destroyed the Woonsocket Post Office. |
How can DOIS be used against the Letter Carriers now? Many of the tasks that the
Letter Carriers perform are not correctly addressed, yet must be accomplished.
That alone makes the data in DOIS obsolete. |
