  The Postal Record: NALC’s monthly magazine
   

May 2008 issuePublished monthly by the National Association of Letter Carriers, AFL-CIO, The Postal Record is received by every member of the NALC—299,000 active and retired letter carriers. It has been published continuously since 1888.

The magazine presents the union's agenda on political, legislative, labor and workplace issues, with an emphasis on factual presentation so members can make informed decisions. It also explains how members can help make their union stronger, their Postal Service better and their country more responsive to the needs of working people.

The Postal Record has been recognized for excellence repeatedly by the AFL-CIO's International Labor Communications Association.

Branch representatives are urged to send details about exceptional acts of service to The Postal Record (it's helpful to include newspaper clippings or official reports), as well as clear, high-quality color photos (if digital, resolution must be at least 300 dpi).

We also welcome information about branches performing community service and letter carriers known for their humanitarian activities. Send such items to The Postal Record, NALC, 100 Indiana Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20001-2144 or via e-mail to postalrecord@nalc.org.
