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. | |||

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. | |||
