The APWU and the Postal Service were not able to come to a negotiated contract despite going through regular negotiation sessions and a mediation process; the parties remain too far apart on the issues. The Postal Service has made it clear that they do not value the men and women who work hard every day providing a valued service to the public. Postal Service employees take pride in our work, and expect a fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work. The proposals put forth by the Postal Service are demeaning to every postal worker covered under the USPS/APWU Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Hollingsworth Private Sector MTESC

We have been in contract negotiations with this unit attempting to get an initial contract for these members. These negotiations have been very challenging. We have run into many obstacles while attempting to achieve a fair agreement. This process has taken over one year. Currently, we are almost complete and we hope to get a tentative agreement before the membership for ratification very soon.

IT/AS

This CBA expired January 20, 2019. We have extended talks and continue to work towards a negotiated contract. The parties have been meeting continuously and exchanging proposals.

Postal Nurses (NPPN)

This CBA expired August 18, 2018. The parties have been meeting and have extended the terms of the CBA until such time that either party declares impasse or mediation. This negotiation process has been slowed by the fact that the Postal Service has had three changes in upper Management responsible for the decisions regarding the nurse positions. The parties are now close and we hope to have a CBA in place that retroactively compensates our Occupational Health Nurses for their hard work.
