The American Postal Workers Union, AFL-CIO, membership has ratified a new three-year labor contract with USPS that will run through Sept. 20, 2027.
Highlights of the agreement include annual general wage increases, semi-annual cost-of-living adjustments, measures designed to assist with postal support employee recruitment and retention, and continued operational flexibility through the use of postal support employees.
“This agreement is fair and balanced. It addresses both parties’ bargaining objectives in a financially responsible manner, and importantly, supports our mission to modernize postal operations to better serve the needs of our customers and provide first-in-class service,” said Acting Postmaster General and Chief Human Resources Officer Doug Tulino.
The union, also known as the APWU, represents more than 190,000 clerks, mechanics, vehicle drivers, custodians and employees in administrative positions.
