Letter carriers are expressing deep disappointment over a tentative agreement offering them only a 1.3% annual raise, especially compared to significant increases other unions have achieved.
Saqia Talbert emphasized the hardships faced during the pandemic, stating that postal workers were understaffed and working excessive hours without adequate compensation or support.
The new agreement, if ratified, will significantly cut guaranteed office time for carriers, which may lead to route eliminations and further increase their workload.
Many unions have negotiated far better contracts recently, raising questions on the effectiveness of the National Association of Letter Carriers' long negotiation process for its members.
