Baltimore carriers keep mail moving<\/h2>\n

Baltimore, MD, Letter Carrier Gerstine
\nFields delivers mail recently.<\/h6>\n

Postal Service employees in Baltimore say they were proud to keep the mail moving despite recent unrest in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to work to deliver to my customers because it\u2019s my duty to provide them service,\u201d said Letter Carrier Britt Danik, who works at Druid Station, located in one of the neighborhoods that experienced turbulence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were people on the streets that said, \u2018There\u2019s mail delivery today?\u2019 I knew then that I did the right thing by coming to work because them seeing me brings back a sense of normalcy to the community,\u201d Danik said.<\/p>\n

Carriers delivered mail where it was safe to do so, said Baltimore District Manager Angela Curtis. Supervisors alerted carriers to potential problem areas by sending messages to their\u00a0<\/span>Mobile Delivery Devices<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Curtis and Washington Division Acting Postal Inspector in Charge David McGinnis visited Druid Station to provide carriers with safety tips and thank them for their service.<\/p>\n

Curtis said carriers \u201cnever asked to leave early and had 100 percent attendance and a great attitude\u201d throughout the incident.<\/p>\n

Several employees said they didn\u2019t want to disappoint their customers. \u201cI knew I had a job to do,\u201d said Letter Carrier Gerstine Fields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
