I began my postal service employment in December, 1969 at the Manhattanville Post Office. I started as a clerk and became a letter carrier three months later. I made regular in 1970. As a regular, I was a combination driver for two years and held a route fiom 1973 through 1983. I became a night router fiom 1983 through 1995.When the night tour ended I became a router again, until the present.

I was always involved in working for Branch 36, and became a shop steward for Manhattanville Station in 1995. In 1998, I became a part-time officer of Branch 36, as delegate of the Central Labor Council. In 2001 I became the Director of City Delivery, and the hearing officer for the Upper Manhattan Hub, which consists of eleven postal stations, those

being Triboro, Lincolnton, College, Audubon, Wash. Bridge, Inwood, Fort George, Church Street, JAF, Manhatanville and Morningside. As a hearing officer, in 2004 I was sent to arbitration school to become an advocate. Thereafter, I was appointed to the Election Committee for the NALC in 2004. For two years, 2005 and 2006, I was appointed to the Branch 36 Dinner-Dance Committee. I was also appointed to be on the tellers' committee for the 2006 National Convention. I have been involved with every other union official in working together to make the Postal Service a better workplace and in building a family of Postal Service workers.
