Tampa Interbay Station invited
National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Branch #599 President Tony Diaz
(above) and Tampa Manager Customer Service Operations (MCSO) Tim Dose (not

being bitten and shared dog interference experiences that occurred when they
were both Letter Carriers. Diaz provided
a demonstration on the importance of using a satchel as the tool to avoid a dog
bite. “One dog bite is one too many,”
stated Dose.

were on hand at a satchel and dog spray station to ensure employees’ satchels were
in good shape. They constructed satchels
for Letter Carriers who needed new ones and made sure all employees had current
and working dog spray.
