US postal workers are being encouraged to give the US Postal Services marketing department, new leads to business in a cooperative effort to try and boost postal revenues. Workers who know their jobs depend on high volumes of mail are being encouraged to "submit a lead" to the USPS marketing department when they encounter potential customers in their daily lives. If for example they are ordering some goods on the Internet and they don't have an option to choose that the goods are delivered by the USPS, they are encouraged to pass on that "lead" to the marketing department to follow up and see if it will generate more postal business. One of UNI's US affiliates, the NPMHU, has joined with the USPS in rolling out a programme to their members to be part of the "Submit A Lead" campaign to help the USPS boost revenues in the very difficult economic environment.
