abstract:The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) is an American labor union, representing non-rural letter carriers employed by the United States Postal Service. It was founded in 1889.
Residents joke that Nalcrest, which stands for the NationalAssociationofLetterCarriers Retirement, Education, Security and Training, is actually short for NationalAssociationofLetterCarriers at Rest.
Fredric Rolando, president of the NationalAssociationofLetterCarriers, blamed Congress for mandating the annual health pre-payments in 2006, but suggested lawmakers should wait to act on legislation until next year.
