The second of the two Orioles auction experiences during Spring Training will take place on Saturday, March 26. The 14-year-old auction winner, JACK COLLINS from Joppa, Md., will serve as the Spring Training Public Address Announcer for the day when the Orioles host the Boston Red Sox.

This year’s winner hails from Towson, Md. and is nine-year old CECELIA LAYFIELD. In the letter Layfield submitted for the contest, she explained her love for playing baseball, her excitement for the upcoming Orioles season, and her interest in visiting Sarasota for the first time. Layfield and her father will receive tickets to the game on Saturday, March 26, round-trip airfare for two, and three nights’ accommodations at the Sandcastle Hotel on Lido Beach. The contest generated more than 30 entries and further promotes the strong partnership between VSC and the Orioles.

  • Letter Carrier Resource Guide
    CARRIER LETTER 2019 R ESOURCE GUIDE Dear Letter Carrier, Welcome to your job as a letter carrier. We have created this guide to help you understand many of your rights and benefits both as a city carrier assistant (CCA) and career letter carrier. Through collective bargaining, National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) has fought for and achieved these rights and benefits over the years. This guide also covers a variety of topics regarding your job as a letter carrier, the history and structure of the NALC, and your importance to the success of our union and the United States Postal Service (USPS). Throughout this guide, you will see many references and quotes from various sources such as the NALC/ USPS National Agreement, memorandums of understanding, and USPS handbooks and manuals. The Na- tional Agreement is the contract between the NALC and the USPS that covers wages, benefits, hours and working conditions for letter carriers. Memorandums of understanding (MOUs) are enforceable, contractually binding settlements under the Na- tional Agreement signed jointly by the NALC and USPS. These documents are identified by name and an “M” followed by a five digit number. This “M” number is a number NALC uses to track documents in what is called the Materials Reference System (MRS), which may be accessed at www.nalc.org/mrs. This guide also contains many references to a jointly-developed document containing Questions-and-An- swers (Q-and-As) regarding the rights and benefits of CCAs. This document, assigned as M-01870 in the MRS, provides the mutual understanding of the national parties on issues related to the USPS/NALC National Agreement.

CHAMPION INTRODUCTION The Commissioner of Baseball, Rob Manfred, penalized the Houston Astros for sign-stealing in 2017, allegedly using “high tech” methods in opposition to the rules of Major League Baseball.1 In a scathing nine-page report the Commissioner made sure to indicate that there was absolutely no evidence that Jim Crane, the Astros’ owner, was aware of any misconduct.2 The Commissioner accused Astros employees in the video replay review room of using live game feed from the center field camera to attempt to decode and transmit opposing teams’ sign sequences. These employees would communicate the sign sequence information by text message which was received on the Apple watch of a staff member on the bench.
