A Mailer's Take on the State of Postal Mailings, Part 2

CS: Does this war chest exist today?
AA: No, not to my knowledge.

CS: Is there anything else catalogers should be doing?
AA: Ultimately, it's Congress that makes the final decisions on postal policy. Catalogers must build a relationship with their local member of Congress by getting to know them and making sure they understand the jobs their businesses create in their districts. Ask for their support for H.R. 22 (www.apwu.org/issues-hr22/hr22.pdf) in the House, which provides a measure of relief from the double funding of retiree health care costs, money that comes directly out of the pockets of mailers.
