Although it is true that only about 20 percent of American workers are in unions, that 20 percent sets the standards across the board in salaries, benefits and working conditions. If you are making a decent salary in a non-union company, you owe that to the unions. One thing that corporations do not do is give out money out of the goodness of their hearts. Molly Ivins

An amendment added to the Senate bill S. 1507 to provide temporary financial relief to the cash-strapped Postal Service was adopted by a Senate Committee July 29. This amendment is detrimental to postal workers and the collective bargaining process.

Hello everyone..  I know by now most of you are probably wondering what has happened to Ruralinfo's newsletters.  Well, this is to let you know that I will no longer be doing a regular newsletter.  I will however, be sending out updates when I think there is important information that rural carriers need to know.
 
Please do not take this as a waiver of my dedication to this website and to rural carriers.  I am not going anywhere, I just do not have the time to put the newsletters together anymore..  It ends up taking me a whole day, and sometimes more to get one put together.. 
 
With that being said, I already have in place several ways for you to keep up to date on the latest news and updates in the postal world and the rural craft..
 
 
First of all, I have my Postal News Blog that I update every day.   There you can sign up for daily emails of all of the postal news from that day.  Also on my Postal News Blog, you can sign up for the rss feed and receive the news in your own feed reader.  You can get there through the following link:  http://ruralcarriernews.blogspot.com/

Then, I have a Rural Updates Blog that I update when there is any news concerning the rural craft.  I do not have an email subscription for that one because it does not get updated daily.  But, you can subscribe to the rss feed there... You can get there through the following link:   http://ruralupdates.blogspot.com/

I also have several different blogs I update as I need to..  You can see the whole list of my blogs from the following link:  http://www.blogger.com/profile/09671997002562467257

Then I have several places that I update all across the web.  Those are listed below:
 
Twitter- follow me

Facebook- friend me

Myspace

Flikr

Youtube

and dont forget the social network for rural carriers:
 
Ruralinfo Rural Connect

So, as you can see, there are many ways to follow and stay up to date on the latest information concerning our craft..  And, I will most certainly send out emails from this list for any important information we all need to be aware of..  Thanks for your understanding..  I am fully dedicated to keeping the information flowing, but it has just come to the point, I need to cut back on the manual work involved to do it..  Thanks for sticking with Ruralinfo and bearing with me..  This site would be nothing without all of you out there..  Thank You!!

ADJUSTMENT OF EMA RATE TO 51.5 CENTS PER MILE

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has released the February 2009
CPI-W Private Transportation Index. Based on this release, the
Equipment Maintenance Allowance (EMA) will decrease by 1.5 cents to
51.5 cents per mile.



Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, Section
2.J.3 of the USPS/NRLCA National Agreement, effective April 11, 2009
(Pay Period 09-09), the Equipment Maintenance Allowance (EMA) will
decrease from 53.0 cents per mile to 51.5 cents per mile, or a minimum
of $20.60 per day, whichever is greater.





Auxiliary Rural Carriers, Rural Carrier Reliefs, Rural Carrier
Associates, Rural Carrier Part-Time Flexibles, and Auxiliary Assistance



Employees providing auxiliary assistance or serving auxiliary routes
under the provisions of Article 9, Section 2.J.5, will receive EMA of
51.5 cents per mile or $5.75 per hour, whichever is greater. The EMA
will not exceed the amount provided in the special EMA chart for route
stops and miles.
