The National Association of Letter Carriers is the sole representative of city delivery letter carriers employed by the U.S. Postal Service.
Since it was founded in Milwaukee in 1889, the NALC has had a long and distinguished history of defending the rights of letter carriers before abusive supervisors, unfair presidential administrations and indifferent Congresses. NALC is the only force that fights to protect the interests of city letter carriers.
On March 17, 1970, letter carriers in New York City led a general postal strike against what was then known as the Post Office Department to protest poverty-level wages. Carriers and other postal workers throughout metropolitan New York—and soon in other cities across the country—followed suit. This successful strike by nearly a quarter-million postal workers led to the Aug. 12, 1970 signing of the Postal Reorganization Act which, among other things, gave NALC the authority to bargain collectively for national agreements with the newly created United States Postal Service.
