They say teamwork makes the dream work — a sentiment mail handlers Rachel Rodriguez and Chance Sweazey heartily endorse.
“We are a team and have to move as a team,” Rodriguez said.
“Nothing will get done working alone,” Sweazey added.
The two are considered top performers at the Postal Service’s Columbus, OH, Processing and Distribution Center.
Mail handlers are assigned an area during their shift and often operate powered industrial trucks.
“I am a driver for the bundle sorters,” Rodriguez said. “Typically, we bring mail in and out to the machines and clear any equipment.”
Sweazey is a group leader and coordinates operations with management.
“Part of my job as a group lead is to boost morale, so I do my best to joke around and have a good time,” he said. “Getting the mail out is great but I enjoy getting a smile out of people.”
Promoting philately
The Bairoil, WY, Post Office recently hosted a Stamp Collections Day to promote philately in the community.
Two local collectors displayed their stamps during the event, which delighted customers, according to Doreen Garrison, the local postmaster.
“It was great fun to listen to everyone talk about memories as they lived through during the years,” she said.
