NAPUS HOTLINE
July 23, 2010

Thank you for contacting the NAPUS Hotline.  This is Executive Director Ken Engstrom at the NAPUS national office in Alexandria, Virginia on Friday July 23, 2010.

Health Note:  Our prayers are going to National Postmaster Rep. George Finley who today is having triple by-pass surgery.  Cards may be sent to: (178 Mountain View Drive, Plum Branch, and SC. 29845). 

Updates NAPUS National Convention:  Members are urged to register for their national convention which is being held over September 11-16, 2010 in Grand Rapids, MI.  You can register online by going to the NAPUS web, (www.NAPUS.org).  There is an update in the web page involving “airport transfers”.  Arrivals:  Saturday, September 11 and Sunday September 12, 2010     Departure:  Thursday, September 16, 2010 (one way $15.00 per person/round trip $25.00 per person).

Legislative update:  House Federal Workforce, Postal Service and District of Columbia Chairman Steve Lynch introduced H.R. 5746, legislation to correct Postal Service overpayment into the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Trust Fund.  On Wednesday, July 21, 2010 the House Subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, the Postal Service and the District of Columbia, by an 8-1 vote, favorably reported HR 5746 to the full House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.  This committee is expected to take up the bill in September. 

President Bob Rapoza received on July 20, 2010 a notice from the Postal Service that they will conduct a two-part survey of the employees and customers.  The survey is intended to gain insight into people’s perception of the Postal Service brand and how the organization has impacted them.  The Postal Service will solicit input from two different groups of 500 randomly selected Postmasters.  Employee participation is voluntary.  The research will be conducted through two surveys:  The first will begin approximately July 26 and is expected to conclude by August 6.  The second will begin approximately September 20 and is expected to conclude by October 1.

As always, I am here to help you.

Ken Engstrom
Executive Director
