Membership Information/Correct Address

One of my jobs as Financial Secretary is to try and keep the membership information up to date. Recently, in looking through the files in membership, I do not have current addresses for some of our members. Current and retired members have moved and have not called or submitted their new mailing addresses. If I don’t have your correct address, you will not receive any information the Branch mails out to the membership. Without your correct address you will not receive the Branch 6000 Limb Leader, or the National Postal Record. Both the Limb Leader and the Postal Record contain important information that keeps the membership aware of current events, and contractual information.

If you are not receiving the Limb Leader or Postal Record, and recently moved in the last 5 years, you probably need to update your information. There are 3 ways you can update your information with the Branch:

1.      Talk to your shop steward and give him/her your updated information to give to the Branch.

2.      Send your correct address to the Branch by mail:

NALC Branch 6000

630 Broadway

Amityville, NY 11701

Att: Vince Calvanese

3.      Call the Branch and ask for me (Vince Calvanese) at 631-789-1616.
