Clerk Division Officer Assignments

Lamont Brooks Director Clerk Division

Per the APWU constitution, I am responsible for the Division; for processing all Clerk Division grievances and being a member of the Labor-Management Committee and the National Negotiations Committee. I am the supervisor of the APWU Clerk Division National Business Agents, and I work under the supervision of the APWU National President. There is a misunderstanding that I have authority over the grievance procedure at local and state union offices. APWU local and state unions are autonomous and responsible for processing grievances at both Steps 1 and 2. We are available to assist APWU locals and states, and we share your inquiries with your local union presidents. I am responsible for negotiating new Clerk Craft language and agreements and enforcing Craft-specific provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). I establish the positions of the Craft for contract interpretation disputes. My primary goal in 2026 is to reduce the grievance backlog, arbitrate major local issues, and resolve and arbitrate national-level Step 4 disputes.

My duties include serving on the Retail Training Taskforce, which has been successful in acquiring additional work for the Clerk Craft, such as FBI fingerprinting, GSA in-person proofing, and recently, a pilot program for TSA Pre-check. I am also assigned to oversee several other retail and customer service Function 4 issues.

I am responsible for dealing with matters in Functions 5, 6, 7, and 8. Clerk Craft jobs that fall under these functions are, for example, Bulk Mail Techs, Mailing Requirements Clerks, Human Resources Clerks, Training Techs, and Data Collection Techs. When problems arise with these positions, I assist locals, states, and members.

Additionally, I edit our articles for the APWU magazine, update content for the Clerk Division webpage to ensure information such as Step 4 settlements, Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), and news updates are posted to keep the membership informed. I am also assigned to cover certain handbooks and manuals.
