WASHINGTON DC- The Tentative Agreement between the USPS and the APWU received the go ahead from the Rank & File Bargaining Advisory Committee to be sent to the membership for a ratification vote.The Negotiating Team reached a Tentative Agreement with management during one of the government’s most turbulent times. However, the National Negotiating Team does not have unilateral authority to impose the contract on the membership.
The Union’s Constitution provides that the Rank & File Bargaining Advisory Committee has full veto power over a proposed National Agreement (contract). The Committee decides whether to send the new Tentative Agreement out for a vote and oversees the ratification vote conducted by an election firm.
“The beauty of our democratic Union process is that the ultimate power over accepting the terms of our contract related to rates of pay, fringe benefits, hours of employment, conditions of work and grievances is in the hands of the membership. The members have the real power,” said Regional Coordinator Omar Gonzalez.
