Bill > HR0377

This resolution commends the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Branch 11, a postal workers' union serving the Chicago region, for their significant contributions to community service and mail delivery. The resolution highlights the important role of letter carriers as public servants who deliver mail six or seven days a week, ensuring essential correspondence and packages reach individuals and businesses. It recognizes that letter carriers, who were the first postal workers to form a union in 1889, balance public service demands with advocating for fair working conditions. Specifically, NALC Branch 11, founded in 1891 and now one of the largest branches nationally, is praised for its charitable efforts, including raising money for charities and participating in the Stamp Out Hunger campaign. The resolution formally commends the branch members for their hard work, dedication, outstanding community service, and commitment to delivering mail for the United States, and includes a provision to present a copy of the resolution to the branch's leadership as a symbol of respect and esteem.
