Good day to all my sisters and brothers of the South Carolina Letter Carriers Association. I hope you and all your family members enjoyed the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. We have entered into the new year on a sad note. The passing of our oldest living USA President, Mr. James Carter. January 9th was declared a day of mourning for him. We are rapidly approaching the inauguration of President elect Donald Trump. There will be changes to come as he enters to our political system. We must remain dedicated towards our jobs. The weather conditions is already changed thereby causing increased safety hazards. Please beware of your surroundings and dress for the weather. The passage of the Social Security Fairness Act (H.R.82) will prove to be beneficial for eligible carriers. There is still a need for improvements in the delivery of our mail. Our reliability of delivery times is on the decline. The initial training of our new carriers must continue to be enhanced. The emphasis on safety need constant attention. Always wear your seat belt while driving.

In Solidarity

December 2025

Season’s Greetings to all members of the South Carolina State Letter Carriers Union. As another year ends, we recognize that many changes have taken place throughout our organization and our work.

We continue to serve communities across the country as part of the United States Postal Service. From time to time, discussions arise about possible changes to how the postal system is managed, including ideas related to privatization. Members who wish to share their views can contact their local and national elected officials to stay involved in these conversations.

Many people, including older adults, rely on the USPS for receiving medications and other important items. Our work remains an important part of their daily lives.

Our next collective bargaining negotiations are expected to begin in about two months. This process helps establish the terms of our next union contract, and it is a routine and necessary part of how our workplace agreements are updated.

The new JCAM, effective December 2025, is now available for anyone who would like to review it.

As we continue delivering holiday packages, cards, and letters, we thank all carriers for their dedication and consistent service during this busy season.

I extend my warmest wishes to you and your families for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

As always, please stay aware of your surroundings during your workday. This time of year can bring increased safety concerns in many areas. Please remember to wear your seatbelt and take steps to protect your well-being.

In solidarity,
Richard Jones
