The new contract with APWU takes effect July 8 and covers approximately 200,000 USPS employees.
An arbitration panel informed the Postal Service July 7 of an interest arbitration decision and award.The award is intended to resolve the differences between USPS and the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) that resulted from an inability to reach a negotiated collective bargaining agreement after the prior agreement expired.
The award, which was the result of a legally mandated binding arbitration process that is required when the parties reach impasse, has resulted in an awarded contract covering approximately 200,000 employees in the clerk, motor vehicle and maintenance crafts.
The contract is effective July 8.
The Postal Service is evaluating the award.

I speak for myself only. I do the same work, harder actually, have a 4 hr six day a week split schedule and have been employed for 16 years 6 of which I have been a pse and the other 10 a pmr. I deserve whatever benefits and perks I earn. Some, and I mean, SOME ptf clerks have only been employed a short time and don’t forget about the nearly 5 dollar an hour pay difference.

I’m curious. How is that PTFs who don’t get paid holidays and, under this contract, PSEs will be required to work holidays while a PSE who doesn’t work will have holidays off, work it to get in lieu of, and/or work it to get paid?
Or how about PSEs being converted before PTFs?
Just wondering.
