NALC Branch 1111 Announcements and Updates
The Postal Service implemented the first six wage increases called for in the 2023-2026 National Agreement. These consist of four cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) and two general wage increases (1.3 percent and 1.4 percent), which were secured in the interest arbitration award issued by Arbitrator Dennis R. Nolan on March 21 of this year.
The NALC and USPS released jointly-developed document regarding the New Employee Experience Retention and Mentoring Program (NEERMP). The program, which began on July 1, and is new for most of the country, was designed with the intent of improving communication between new letter carriers and their managers and co-workers, providing work experiences that give new letter carriers the ability to learn their jobs at a more moderate pace, and providing them with continuing education beyond the Carrier Academy and the on-the-job instruction stages. The document, M-02010 in NALC’s Materials Reference System (MRS), provides answers to commonly asked questions about the program. The document will be updated in the future if additional agreements are reached on matters related to the NEERMP.
