Branch 258 Featured in 2016 Labor Day News Insert

Branch 258 was featured in a full page article and thank you ad in the 2016 Labor Day insert of the Reading Eagle.  The article details community based functions that carriers serve every day, as well as talking about some of our yearly activities.  The article can be found in the Sunday, September 4 issue of the Reading Eagle, on the news website, or you can view a scanned copy by clicking here.  Our page was part of a larger insert which featured several local unions in a celebration of the labor movement for which this holiday was named.

Branch Leader Featured at Parade

Branch 258 was proud to be represented once again by former President George Cook, who served as the grand marshal for the Labor Day parade held on September 2.  As many of you know, George served as our branch president from from 1998 to 2012, as well as serving in myriad capacities for our union and for letter carriers.  George was instrumental in helping to make our branch a source of pride and respect among our brethren in the NALC, and we congratulate him as the United Labor Council recognizes him with this honor.
