Publicity Campaign to Spotlight Retail Clerks
APWU Web News Article #44-05, Sept. 14, 2005

Retail Clerks at "Ambassador" training in Dallas, TX, August 2005. |
Eighty Retail Sales Associates who were selected to participate in a Postal Service publicity campaign traveled to Dallas in late August, where they learned to serve as “Postal Ambassadors.”
The retail clerks will help market USPS products and services, and will be featured in internal promotions and at local publicity events.
After the training, the finalists spent a day “auditioning” for selection as one of nine Area representatives.
The participation of clerks is due in part to APWU efforts in 2004 when the “Postal Ambassador” program was initially announced.
“When the program was brought to my attention, I saw that it spotlighted only on letter carriers,” said APWU President William Burrus. “Our members perform the widest range of essential services in the nation’s mail system, and I demanded and received assurances that we would be included in the campaign.”
After an agreement was reached with postal management earlier this summer, APWU local unions in each District nominated five retail sales associates; District management nominated an additional five.
Among the finalists were the following APWU members:
