Daytona Beach is a medium sized facility with 35 Mailhandlers. Although we are small in number, we have considerable influence on the workroom floor. We maintain this influence by diligently policing our National and Local Agreements, and by insisting that management treat us as partners rather than adversaries.
This page is not intended to be a source of vast amounts of technical information or to be a resource site. Rather, it is meant to convey what it's like to be a Mailhandler, and a Unionist, in a small Southern town. This site contains events important to the Mailhandlers here. I have included articles, agreements with management, Newsletters, just to give you a feel of what it's like to work at our facility, and in our community. I have also included community events in which Mailhandlers were participants.
I hope you will enjoy browsing through this site. I will do my best to build this site, keep it up to date and make it even more interesting. We have some very talented people working here and I will ask them to contribute their talents to this page.
Please remember this; your constitutional rights do not end on the workroom floor. A Union is the only way working men and women can obtain economic justice. A Union is not a special interest group seeking preferential treatment for a privileged few. A Union is the best hope for ensuring that the middle-class will survive and prosper.
" I consider it important, indeed urgently necessary, for intellectual workers to get together, both to protect their own economic status and, also generally speaking, to secure their influence in the political field."
