Dear Charlie,

This is in response to your letter dated July 1, requesting a moratorium on “the processing of grievances, disciplinary actions, and arbitration hearings at the local, district, regional, and national level for the period of Wednesday, October 1,2025, to Friday, October 10,2025”. During this time period the APWU will be holding multiple events to include their All-Graft Conference.

The Postal Service agrees with your request as follows:

All grievance activity and disciplinary actions that would occur between October 1 and October 10, at the National, Regional, and Local levels, will be extended and considered timely if the action occurs no later than October 20,2025.

No arbitrations will be scheduled between October 1 and October 10.

This agreement applies to the collective bargaining agreements between the Postal Service and the APWU (main body agreement), lnformation Technology/Accounting Service Centers (|T/AS), National Postal Professional Nurses (NPPN), and Human Resources Shared Service Center (HRSSC).

Sincerely,
