Postal Union seeks customer complaints

While many people viewed the new contract postal unit at Rio Rancho Printing as a victory, there is still a lot left to do.

Lately, postal customers have been complaining about receiving more and more delayed service, and their cries have now reached the American Postal Workers Union.

APWU Local 380 spokesman Gene Gabaldon said the late delivery is happening in spite of an increase in carrier in recent months.

"The truth is that the Albuquerque District continues to lack manpower to process and deliver mail," he said in a press release. "Letter carriers are still delivering mail late into the night, and there are long lines at postal retail counters in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe and throughout New Mexico.

Although he has already heard complaints from the public, Gabaldon wants to hear more.

He is asking postal customers to sent their input by fax to 505-243-8611 or by e-mail to service@apwulocal380.org.

"New Mexico Postal Workers truly feel our customers' plight," he said. "We are doing everything within our powers to assist them and to correct the staffing problems that plague post offices from Farmington to Roswell and Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe to Las Cruces."
