Membership

The Retiree’s division is composed of members who are retired or meet the qualifications described in Article III, Section 4f, of the Constitution.

Any regular member retiring from employment who pays all dues and assessments to the Local, District, and National, provided he/she was a member five years prior to retirement, shall be entitled to all rights and privileges of regular membership in this organization, with the exception of retired Members-at-Large, who shall retain only those privileges pertaining to Members-at-Large.

The goal of the Management Division is to promote the advancement of our members through training and networking. Given the corporate structure of today’s Postal Service, promotion from frontline supervisor to the next level will be a far greater jump than in the past. This is made even more difficult because greater influences are being placed on the candidates’ educational background. On the surface, you can’t argue with the selection process. But if you look beneath the surface, it appears that the powers that be have decided to go with younger and more formally educated people, even though many of these employees are inexperienced. This will limit or slow the promotion of many Alliance members from front-line supervisors who are very knowledgeable and capable of holding top management positions.

The Youth Council is composed of minor dependents of Alliance members between the ages of eight (8) and eighteen (18), who shall operate under their own scheme of organization not inconsistent with the principles and policies of the Alliance.
