CONVENTION COMMITTEES MEETING AT NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS
In the coming weeks, and continuing into the middle to July, various committees comprised of delegates previously elected to the 2016 NPMHU National Convention have been and will be meeting at NPMHU Headquarters in Washington, DC. These committees have been meeting to certify and issue credentials for all of the delegates attending the Convention, to adopt rules and procedures for the selection of this year’s Election Committee, and to issue recommendations on constitutional amendments, legislative and political activities, and resolutions that will be debated and adopted during the upcoming Convention. As previously reported, this year’s NPMHU Convention is scheduled to take place in Chicago, Illinois during the week of August 22.

NPMHU-USPS BARGAINING EXTENDED
As previously reported, the deadline for negotiations between the NPMHU and the Postal Service over the terms of the 2016 National Agreement has been extended. The parties are awaiting issuance of the pending arbitration award involving another postal union, and will be meeting to try to reach final agreement on all open issues.
It likely will take several months to complete the bargaining process. To the extent possible, the National Office will keep all mail handlers informed
of developments through the various modes of NPMHU communications, including monthly bulletins and Contract Updates. Should a tentative settlement agreement be reached, it will be subject to ratification by the entire membership of the NPMHU.
APPLICATIONS BEING ACCEPTED FOR POSITIONS IN THE CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT
The NPMHU may be looking to add full-time representatives to its Contract Administration Department (CAD) in its Washington, DC office during the coming months and years. To ensure that there are qualified and available applicants to choose from to fill any positions, the NPMHU is asking any interested Union representatives or members to send in a “statement of interest” to the National Office.
