Tentative Agreement Ratification Process

Ballots must be RECEIVED BY AAA by July 10 at 9 AM Eastern Time in order to be counted.

In accordance with the APWU Constitution and Bylaws, the Rank and File Bargaining Advisory Committee must approve a Tentative Agreement before members are given the opportunity to vote on ratification. The committee voted unanimously to endorse the proposed agreement. The union’s National Negotiations Committee also voted unanimously to approve the Tentative Agreement.

Voting on the Tentative Agreement for the new APWU-USPS contract starts with a mailing. In addition to a ballot, the ratification mailing includes a summary of highlights of the proposed agreement; the official statement of the Rank and File Bargaining Advisory Committee; a letter from APWU President Mark Dimondstein, and a postage-paid return envelope.The single-question ballot will allow members to vote ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ on a contract, which, if ratified, would expire on Sept. 20, 2027. 

Ballots for the referendum must be received in the designated post office box by the deadline set by the Rank and File Bargaining Advisory Committee. The Rank and File committee will supervise the proceeding vote count.

If you have questions or difficulties in returning your ballot, contact the AAA by calling 1-800-529-5218 between the hours of 9:00 a.m.  to 5:00 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
