Unfortunately, this message has fallen on deaf ears and, instead of moving on to matters of importance to Americans, Congress is choosing this appalling pursuit of a deeply flawed Fast Track bill that undermines workers and the United States Postal Service.<\/p>\n<p>The NALC remains committed to working with Congress to advance a trade package that promotes and protects a strong and vibrant Postal Service, protecting letter carriers in the process.

It should therefore be rejected by the House and Senate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nalc.org\/government-affairs\/legislative-updates\/fast-track-deja-vu\">Click here<\/a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>for NALC&#8217;s analysis of the vote and of what happens next.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/NALC-LOGO-Large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10984 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/NALC-LOGO-Large-300x292.jpg\" alt=\"NALC LOGO Large\" width=\"300\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/NALC-LOGO-Large-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/NALC-LOGO-Large-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/NALC-LOGO-Large.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NALC President Fredric Rolando&#8217;s statement regarding &#8216;Fast Track&#8221; passage in the House: Today, the House of Representatives showed that it continues to prioritize a \u2018passage at all costs\u2019 approach to a seriously flawed Trade Promotion Authority bill\u2014better known as Fast Track.
