NAPUS and the League as most all
know were notified on May 22, 2009 that the Postal Service arbitrary canceled
the convention leave, a benefit all Postmasters have held for well over 80
years effective May 31, 2009. NAPUS
President Dale Goff responded with the full backing of the NAPUS National
Executive Board that this action is tantamount to a breach of faith, if not
contract, with the nation's approximately 27,000 Postmasters. A press release was printed in full and
posted in the "breaking news" icon on the NAPUS web page. It is for your use to contact all your
Congressional representatives. Both
NAPUS and the League sent a joint letter to the Board of Governors and the
Postal Regulatory Commission protesting the actions of the Postal Service. Both Postmaster organizations also requested
that the OIG (Office of Inspector General) open an investigation into this
matter because the USPS is violating Title 39.
The OIG has now notified NAPUS that they will indeed be conducting an
evaluation of the convention leave termination issue, and the procedures the
Postal Service used in the process.
The below is taken from the NAPUS Hotline. Please take note!!
The personnel and/or association use of computers was discussed. Postal Headquarters stated that use of Postal computers for either of these was not to be allowed. NAPUS urges all Postmasters not to use their Postal computer for anything except for Postal business. *** ***
