Government Executive: A union representing 200,000 U.S. Postal Service employees reached a new, 40-month contract with the agency through an arbitrator on Friday, with covered career workers winning a 3.8 percent pay increase over the course of the agreement.
Arbitrator Stephen Goldberg issued the contract after the American Postal Workers Union and USPS came to an impasse on negotiations last year. The union won a series of new rights and benefits for non-career workers, and protected the benefits of regular, full-time employees the Postal Service had previously threatened. The contract is retroactive to May 21 and will last through Sept. 20, 2018.
