The NPMHU is the exclusive bargaining agent representing mail handlers and | |||
mail handler assistants employed by the U.S. Postal Service. It has been so | |||
recognized in accordance with the terms of the Postal Reorganization Act (PRA) | |||
of 1970, which transformed the federal government agency known as the “Post | |||
Office Department” into an independent establishment of the Government of the | |||
United States, the “United States Postal Service.” The PRA also granted | |||
bargaining-unit employees the right to bargain collectively with respect to “rates | |||
of pay, wages, hours of employment, or other conditions of employment.” | |||
As the exclusive bargaining representative for all mail handlers, the NPMHU is | |||
the only organization that is entitled to represent mail handlers in their collective | |||
bargaining relationship with the Postal Service. | |||
The other unions exclusively representing large, national groups of USPS craft | |||
employees are: | |||
APWU or American Postal Workers Union, AFL-CIO: clerks, maintenance, motor | |||
vehicle, mail equipment shops and material distribution center employees; | |||
NALC or National Association of Letter Carriers, AFL-CIO: city letter carriers; and | |||
NRLCA or National Rural Letter Carriers Association: rural letter carriers. | |||
The NPMHU and the unions representing other postal crafts all negotiated | |||
together and executed joint National Agreements with the U.S. Postal Service | |||
covering the periods 1971-73 and 1973-75. The NRLCA bargained separately | |||
for its 1975-78 Agreement and all agreements thereafter. The NPMHU remained | |||
in a jointly-bargained National Agreement with the APWU and NALC covering the | |||
periods 1975-78 and 1978-81. Beginning in 1981, and continuing to this day, the | |||
NPMHU has bargained separately for its own National Agreement. The APWU | |||
and NALC continued to bargain together as the Joint Bargaining Committee in | |||
1981, 1984, 1987, and 1990, but have bargained separately since 1994. | |||
Presently, therefore, the four major postal unions have separate National | |||
Agreements with the Postal Service. | |||
