Sadness for the loss of family, friends and fellow members while navigating each month with apprehension and hope. Challenging times will always test your resilience to maintain unified and strong throughout the most egregious times as postal employees and labor leaders. To assist new and current local and state officers in complying with the Department of Labor (DOL) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) legal requirements, the Secretary-Treasurer’s department will continue to provide various fiduciary zoom training opportunities for officers to attend.
