PMG Speaks to NAPS at annual LTS

On Monday 3/30/09 at 8:40AM, Postmaster General John E. Potter took the stage at the NAPS 2009 Legislative Training Seminar to speak directly to the delegates. Mr. Potter spoke about the state of the Postal Service. He stressed that Postal Service is not going to "go away" and will remain a viable entity.  The PMG went on to talk about the Organizational Changes currently taking place.  There has been a hiring freeze since well in advance of the slump in the economy and the mail industry, so there are available jobs for those employees being displaced. He cannot promise this, but there may be very few, if any, employees that will be separated in this RIF. Mr. Potter also spoke about being optimistic of the future of the economy and the mail industry. The Postal Service has already made grounds on gaining inroads in the advertising and package services business. The US Postal Service is ready, at the first inkling at signs of recovery, to launch a huge advertising blitz to gain even more market-share in these important areas. No Question and Answer session was given for delegates to interact with the PMG.

The annual Legislative Training Seminar (LTS) provides our association the focus to our advocacy efforts in Congress. Delegates from across the country come together to convene in Washington DC.  The first two days are given for training to the delegates to prepare them for their efforts. The third day is when the delegates come together on Capitol Hill to have meetings with their local Senators and Congresspersons.
