The NPMHU and USPS have finalized the text of the 2011 National Agreement as compelled by the February 15, 2013 Award of the Board of Arbitration. The term of the contract is four and one half years in duration (November 21, 2011 through May 20, 2016). The contact was recently sent to the Union printer and will be distributed by mail to each NPMHU member in the coming weeks.
Next week Donahoe will be wanting to renegotiate. The USPS will smile while they’re signing the contract while they’re stabbing you in the back with the other hand.
One more contract that mgmt. has no intention of honoring.
