This provision sets forth various postal employees who are excluded from or are
not part of the bargaining unit represented by the NPMHU.
The supplemental work force, which was previously defined in Article 7 of the
2016 National Agreement as casual employees, are excluded from the
bargaining unit. Additionally, managerial and supervisory personnel, employees
exclusively represented by one of the other postal unions, and postal employees
who work at the Mail Transport Equipment Centers are among those excluded
from the bargaining unit.

Version 5 – June 2021 Article 1 – Page 3
Question: Are managers or supervisors members of the bargaining unit
represented by the NPMHU?
Answer: No. However, mail handlers serving in a temporary supervisory
position (204b) or in a supervisory training program are still considered to be craft
employees and may continue to accrue seniority in the mail handler craft. The
right of such employees and those detailed to EAS positions to bid on vacant
duty assignments or to encumber their current duty assignment is governed by
Article 12 (Section 12.3B12).
Question: Are postal employees still working at the Mail Transport Equipment
Centers or Repair Centers (MTEC) represented by the NPMHU?
Answer: Yes. However, they are considered to be members of a separate
bargaining unit, and therefore are not directly covered by the 2019 National
Agreement between the NPMHU and the Postal Service. Rather, pursuant to the
Memorandum of Understanding Mail Transport Equipment Centers/Repair
Centers (MOU) that is contained in the 1998 National Agreement, the terms and
conditions of employment for employees at the MTECs are governed by the
Supplemental Agreement covering the MTECs (as specifically modified by the
MOU) until all such postal facilities are closed and all employees are reassigned
in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding regarding reassignment
from MTEC facilities.
