COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – After more than 500 days of waiting, the National Association of Letter Carriers has reached an agreement with the U.S. Postal Service and proposed a new contract, which is set to be voted upon by union members in the coming weeks.
“Why am I voting no? Because this is an insult and a disservice to carriers who should be respected and should be paid what they deserve,” union member McClain Murphy said.
Murphy walks nearly 12 miles each day, delivering mail to hundreds of addresses in Worthington. He said the tentative agreement, announced Oct. 18, is a “slap in the face” to the nearly 300,000 mail carriers who are in one of the largest unions in the U.S.
