You are reading the fifth Contract Update produced and distributed by the NPMHU during the course of 2025 negotiations. These updates, along with the Union’s magazine and monthly bulletins, will keep mail handlers throughout the country informed and involved in the issues raised during this round of bargaining.
With less than one month until the expiration of the 2022 contract between the NPMHU and USPS, bargaining between both of the parties continues in full force. As both sides prepare for their round-the-clock bargaining sessions in a few weeks, the USPS and NPMHU continue to submit and revise proposals.
The Postal Service Negotiations Team submitted their first official proposals during Main Table Bargaining this week, addressing issues in holiday scheduling and the grievance process. The NPMHU Negotiations team continue to revise their proposals to increase the odds of their acceptance while still ensuring maximum benefit to the bargaining unit.
