.@SenatorJulie on bill to prohibit coercive captive audience meetings: It's a workplace fairness issue. It's about democracy... Workers already have the right to organize. Let's give them the right to do so without fear of intimidation and retaliation #RespectWorkers

.@Davis1Shellye at #WMCT2019: This is the longest shutdown in our history at 29 days. Those locked out & those forced to work without pay make this country run. They protect us when we fly, guard our prisons, inspect our food & take care of our veterans. They deserve better!

Almost all of the USPS red ink is attributable to a 2006 congressional mandate that the Postal Service pre-fund future retiree health benefits decades in advance and pay for it within 10 years — something required of no other public or private entity @NALC_National

Annually, letters carriers hold the nation’s largest one-day food drive, collecting tens of millions of pounds of food to feed hungry Americans — including many children and veterans. @NALC_National

The Postal Service is the largest civilian employer of military veterans — more than 113,000 grace the postal workforce. @NALC_National
