Carrier Corps 2012

Members of the Carrier Corps lead NALC’s grassroots efforts to represent the views of letter carriers in Washington and help pro-letter carrier candidates win election to Congress.

From now on, Carrier Corps membership will begin anew at the start of each election cycle. Members will need to renew their membership by participating in one of the following kinds of activities:

• Canvassing, phone banking, worksite leafleting and other member contact.
• Signing up new Gimme 5 automatic contributors for COLCPE.
• Signing up new e-Activist members.
• Attending a rally, protest or march.
• Attending a political or legislative training.
• Lobbying a member of Congress on NALC-specific issues through a lobby visit, a fundraiser or sending a letter.
• Organizing an event at the branch or state level that helps others complete any of these actions.

These activities must be approved NALC or AFL-CIO events or activities to be eligible for Carrier Corps credit.

All Carrier Corps members will receive T-shirts.

Carrier Corps members with three or more of these activities reach silver status; with five or more, they reach gold status. Carriers at both levels will be recognized in The Postal Record.

As you complete the organizing, grassroots and political activities necessary to join Carrier Corps or to achieve silver or gold status by completing a certain number of activities, you will submit details of your achievements by mailing this form to your state chair or by filling out the online form below. State chairs will verify and approve all of the achievements before credit is given.

If you are an NALC member and you or your branch is planning an NALC-approved legislative or political activity, please use these forms to recognize those NALC members who participated in the event.
