Branch 6000 is located at 630 Broadway, Amityville, New York on beautiful Long Island. We have 125 postal installations within our boundaries, which spreads from Montauk in the east; to Great Neck and the Rockaways in the west for approximately ninety miles. We cover three counties which consists of Suffolk, Nassau, and Queens and we represent two Postal Districts; Long Island and Triboro.
Branch 6000 was chartered on January 1, 1972. At that time, the NALC National President was James Radamacher. Branch 6000’s first President was Arron Trachenberg, who served from 1972-1975. He was succeeded by Robert Vincenzi, who served from 1975-1978. Upon leaving office, Robert Vincenzi became the National Business Agent, and then went on to be National Director of Health Benefits.
Our next President was Eugene Connelly. He served from 1978-1990. He was succeeded by Joseph LaPlaca, who served as president from 1990-1996. After enjoying two years in retirement, Joseph LaPlaca was elected to the position of National Director of Retirees in 1998. Since 1996, Branch 6000 has been under the leadership of President Dominic A. Prestano.
As with many Branches throughout the country, we believe that in unity there is strength. Since receiving our charter in 1972, our Branch has grown to one of the largest Branches in the country. We have come a long way, picking up many talented people with every merger. Among them, William Yates, who has also represented this branch in the past as National Business Agent is currently serving as the National Secretary-Treasurer.
The Branch purchased their own office building in 1983. We currently house our own Credit Union, as well as eight full-time officers. The Branch is affiliated with the NYS AFL-CIO and the Long Island Federation of Labor where President Prestano is currently Vice-President.
There have been many accomplishments over the years, one of which is the infamous Hempstead case. The Hempstead case helped Letter Carriers across the country who were subjected to the injustices of automation. The case started with what we called at the time (1990) the Big Six. They were Hempstead’s four stations, Garden City, Westbury, Baldwin, Mineola, and Valley Stream. Valley Stream, although not part of Branch 6000, did win victory due to our efforts. The case was finally Arbitrated Nationally. The Hempstead case unified carriers not only within our Branch, but also throughout the country and the NALC
