Charlotte Local Heeds the Call

Members of the Charlotte (NC) Area Local visited three Staples stores on Jan. 14, to deliver letters protesting the establishment of postal retail units staffed by low-wage, non-union, non-postal workers.

Managers of two of the stores seemed to be aware that a group might be coming, reports Local President LeRoy Moyer, but the manager of the third store didn’t seem to be expecting them. The managers at two of the stores accepted the letters and agreed to pass the letter up to the district level, but the third manager was unwelcoming and didn’t engage in any real discussion, Moyer said.

Many locals are organizing delegations. If your local sends a delegation, please send photos and a brief report.
