More than 200,000 Postal Service letter carriers will receive 1.3% annual pay raises and semiannual cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs), if they approve a tentative contract negotiated by their union.
The National Association of Letter Carriers reached a tentative agreement with the Postal Service last Friday, after nearly two years of stalled negotiations.
Under the tentative agreement, which runs from May 20, 2023, through Nov. 7, 2026, letter carriers would get retroactive 1.3% pay raises for November 2023 and November 2024, and would receive another 1.3% pay raise in November 2025
