The American postal workers union of New Mexico recognizes the importance of postal services

to the cities and small towns in the state of New Mexico.

The standards of mail delivery and service have dramatically deteriorated in New Mexico over

the past five years, resulting in long waiting lines at retail windows, late night delivery, no

delivery or delayed mail delivery.

By drawing attention to the importance of customer service at the United States postal service as

well as in the public domain, the American postal workers union of New Mexico hopes to

improve the quality of mail service and delivery in the state; and

The remarkable awareness created thus far is a direct result of the American postal workers

union of New Mexico's advocacy and dedication to the citizenry of New Mexico.
