Here We Come Again – Where There’s a Will There’s a Way
(This article first appeared in the November/December issue of the American Postal Worker magazine)
Who knew? Another year has passed and we are still dealing with COVID-19. We remain battered but unbowed.

We continued to enforce the contract, keep our members informed, have local and state meetings, hold elections, negotiate agreements and more. Just writing it out still amazes me.
