Ethics were in the news last week.
The Postal Service observed USPS Ethics Awareness Week, and Link marked the occasion with stories about the rules on using postal property, conduct on postal property, honoring the sanctity of the mail and nepotism in the workplace.
We also reported on an online debate about the use of artificial intelligence to aid letter writing that was sparked by a recent Google TV ad.
Other topics included the release of the Pinback Buttons and Autumn Colors stamps, as well as the latest nominations to the USPS Board of Governors.
Additionally, two Massachusetts employees made news.
Joseph Morales Caraballo, a Springfield city carrier assistant, took action when he detected a gas leak at a home on his route, while Kevin Devaney, a Boston distribution operations manager, helped create a work of art memorializing the Postal Service’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The art piece impressed Chief Processing and Distribution Officer Isaac Cronkhite, who arranged for it to be added to the Postal Service’s historical collection.
“This collage is the result of combining the creativity of this one-of-a-kind leader with the incredibly thoughtful citizens from our Boston community — and it’s truly awe-inspiring,” said Cronkhite.
