OF
THE

a
CIVIL
The editors of the Civil Service LEADER have long felt that the prob­
lems of postal workers deserve deeper, more sympathetic attention than they
are getting. The postal worker is one of the best-liked of Uncle Sam’s array
of employees. He is praised for his faithfulness, his trustworthiness, his
competence. But this praise has seldom been translated into proper work­
ing conditions. This newspaper turns over the pages of this special section to
the leaders of the postal workers. In their own words—the most effective
words of all—they tell their story: of the need for increased pay, without
strings; of the need for better treatment of the substitute; of the need for
an improved promotion system based on merit; of the need for a system of
appeals; of the need for better morale. We hope that every Federal employee,
every official, every Congressman, will give heed to what the post office em­
ployees have to say. It is important that they shall be heard.

give to all Uovernm ont employees,
a flat $;J00 increase for the d u r a ­
tion of the w ar and six moutlis
th eie after. T his was immediately
objected to by the Adm inistration.

In excess of 40 hours per week in
the executive d e p artm en ts and

We of the affiliated

this m easure, a n d those other w o rk ­

passed, will also find t h a t th eir
in te re sts have been tak e n care of
exac tly a s th e y were In H.R. 7144.

In conclusion, to the g re a t a r m y
of F e d e ral w o rk e rs: We in the
P o s ta l Service have undergone terlific h a rd sh ip s to secure the bene­
fits we now enjoy, but we never
secured a n y of th em a t the expense
of a n y o th e r group. The introduc­

filiated group is a n indication of
ou r desire to achieve our objective
a n d still protec t the interests of
others.
