Editing Section 1.1 2020

=== Section 1.1 President’s Salary/Benefit Package: ===
<ul>Salary</ul> – The base salary of a full-time President will be figured on that individual’s hourly postal rate with a 40-hour work week. In addition, the President will receive an additional 25% of his/her base salary. The President will receive all contractual and COLA raises and any bonuses which are received by Mail Handlers. If it is a percentage raise, that raise will be at the current Mail Handler rate of pay for the President. All contractual and COLA increases gained by the Office of President will become part of the President’s base salary.

Benefits – Local 315, as the President’s employer, will make payment directly to the Disbursing Officer for the employer portion of health and life insurance and Postal retirement contributions not to exceed the benefits that the President had in the year prior to taking office. Local 315 will match the President’s contribution to TSP up to a maximum of 5%. Local 315 will automatically contribute 1% to TSP if the President elects to not make voluntary contributions.

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.
USPS – NPMHU Contract Interpretation Manual 
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.
