Have you ever wondered what a day at work is like for the people who fill up your mailbox? We delivered on a listener suggestion for the latest installment of our At Work With series, and spent the day with a rural letter carrier.
USPS and the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association (NRLCA) have agreed to continue contract negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement.
Every second Saturday in May, letter carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across America collect the goodness and compassion of their postal customers, who participate in the NALC Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive — the largest one-day food drive in the nation.
The sixth and final COLA adjustment of the 2021-2024 National Agreement will result in a $353.00 increase for eligible rural carriers.
The last deal ended on May 20, and a statutory 60-day mediation period ended on July 19, but the National Association of Letter Carriers union (NALC) has continued to meet with USPS for nearly a month without either party declaring an impasse.
A National Rural Letter Carriers Association steward did not threaten an Oregon member by backing a U.S. Postal Service manager who scolded the worker for complaining about added work.
