San Antonio Clerk, David Rodriguez has retired from the United States Postal Service with 67 years of service and number 1 in the country. He retired with more than 6000 hours of unused sick leave! The Postal Service doesn’t even carry a pin for these many years of service, so they created something for him during his retirement. The District Manager(Steve Hernandez), Plant Manager(Dennis Staza), and several members of management as well as supervision of the Rio Grande District, were in attendance. The American Postal Workers Union had the Southern Region Coordinator ,Kennith L. Beasley (Click Here to learn more) in attendance and he presented Mr. Rodriguez with a card, gift, pin and even a funny joke. The Local President of the San Antonio Alamo Area Local as well as the Vice President were in attendance and presented Mr. Rodriguez with a plaque. Several of the SAAAL stewards wished him a joyous retirement as well as many of his former colleagues and co workers.
