The NRLCA National Board has designated the week of October 19-25, 2025, as “National Steward Recognition Week.” We hope you will join us in showing our stewards at every level that their dedication and commitment do not go unnoticed.
Let us praise our stewards at least as often as we criticize and remember that they put themselves on the line for you every day. When you are tired and frustrated about something that management does or doesn’t do, don’t take it out on your steward. They are there to help you, often while carrying a full day’s mail on their own route.
We hope that you realize how difficult a job it is to be a steward. They are rural carriers, just like you, feeling the same fatigue and frustration that you are feeling, while trying to right the wrongs in the workplace.
Thank your steward today!
