ECONOMIC DISCUSSIONS CONTINUE

2025 No. 13 — February 18, 2026

As we have been reporting since the conclusion of the Hotel week negotiations in September, our negotiations with the Postal Service have turned to a specific focus on economic issues — namely, negotiations around issues such as general wage increases, COLA, night shift differential, and MHA wage rates.

While we have had open discussions with the Postal Service representatives, WE REMAIN FAR APART ON THE CORE ECONOMIC ISSUES. The NPMHU has focused these discussions on the persistent disparities between the NPMHU and what the Postal Service has already agreed to with other postal unions. The NPMHU has made clear that we will not agree to any contract that does not continue the path the NPMHU achieved in prior rounds of bargaining to eliminate and close those disparities.

While the NPMHU will continue to negotiate with the Postal Service, NPMHU leadership has been firm that if the Postal Service will not propose economic terms that achieve our objectives, there will be no agreement.

As we have said throughout these negotiations, our preference is to negotiate an agreement with the Postal Service. If a negotiated agreement is not possible, the NPMHU is prepared to carry the fight through to arbitration to ensure that the next National Agreement achieves the fair wages and working conditions that all Mail Handlers deserve. We will accept nothing less.
