Campaign to improve image
of Postal Service, mailman
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The radio
commercial begins: “Ten thousand
dog bites. That’s the number of at
tacks made upon mailmen last year.
Dog bites are painful not only to the
letter carrier but to the taxpayer who
must pay for lost wages and hos
pitalization of the victims.”
That’s a sample of the advertising
campaign that the letter carriers’
union is using to try to improve the
public image of the Postal Service
and the letter carrier.
“Worse than dogs these days are
the growls of the people, ” James H.
Rademacher, president of the Na
tional Association of Letter Carriers,
said in an interview yesterday.
“People these days are actually
shooting at us if we are late with their
welfare checks.”
Most of the seven different ads are
designed to restore faith in the mail
service and the people who deliver
mail.
For example, one commercial asks
for patience if packages are delivered
late. It notes that the Postal Service
has a greatly expanded burden be
cause of the strike against United
Parcel Service, its main competitor.
