The American Postal Workers Union’s newest bargaining unit, made up of the employees at the Human Resources Shared Service Center in Greensboro, NC, have officially ratified their first contract. The new contract contains strong step progression increases, contractual increases, and two cost of living adjustments.

“Congratulations to the North Carolina Triad Shared Services Local on their new union contract and to Support Services Director Steve Brooks, NBA Judy McCann and the local negotiating committee,” said President Dimondstein. “This new collective bargaining agreement is a prime example of the power of solidarity. By coming together as one, the workers at the HRSSC now have a strong union contract that reflects their hard and important work.”

“Thank you to the HRSSC workers for coming to the APWU to form a union and for standing strong throughout the election and first contract negotiation process,” said Industrial Relations Director Zimmerman.

“I’m proud of our work in this process to deliver a good contract, that starts to address the pay gaps, job security, seniority and other workplace issues that led to the workers seeking out the APWU. This is a great example of why it is so important to come together as a union.”
