The second group of Rank-and-File Bargaining Committees has convened and is meeting in person in the Washington, DC, area. This group of 30 letter carriers from across the country is divided into three committees: Branch Leaders, Contract Enforcers and Newer Members.
The committees are undergoing a similar review process to the one followed by the Executive Council and staff bargaining subcommittees.
The first group of Rank-and-File Bargaining Committees met in September 2025 and provided valuable input on potential proposals from their various perspectives. This group will follow the same format and have the opportunity to share their ideas leading into the final weeks of collective-bargaining preparations. Negotiations with the Postal Service are scheduled to begin on Feb. 25.
Last night, NALC President Brian L. Renfroe met with the committees ahead of their full week of work.
