\n06\/22\/2016 – The Postal Service finally provided the APWU with an official version of the new MS-1 Handbook<\/a><\/span> on June 21, Maintenance Craft Director Steve Raymer has announced. It is now effective.<\/p>\n

The handbook has important implications for BEM staffing.<\/p>\n

After almost two year of debate between the union and management over the handbook, discussions broke down approximately a month ago. The MS-1 handbook dispute was already certified for arbitration in May 2014 based on the presentation of a draft version in 2014.<\/p>\n

\"Balogun\"

Balogun<\/span><\/p><\/div>Idowu Balogun is the case officer for this dispute. Please address all input and inquiries on the handbook to MaintStaffing@apwu.org<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We plan to hold a full discussion on our strategy for fighting this new assault on our Building Equipment Mechanics at the upcoming National Convention in Orlando, FL, Aug. 22-25.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
