2025 CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS EXTENDED PAST DEADLINE

Since negotiations opened on June 25, 2025, the NPMHU Negotiations Team has been working diligently to secure a new collective bargaining agreement with the U.S. Postal Service.

In their efforts to reach a complete 2025 National Agreement, the NPMHU Negotiations Team will continue to meet with their counterparts at the Postal Service.

If the NPMHU and the Postal Service come to a tentative agreement, it will be subject to a mail ballot referendum of the entire NPMHU membership.

Throughout negotiations National President Hogrogian and National Secretary-Treasurer Tabarus have and will continue to update the Regional Vice Presidents on the National Executive Board on the progress of negotiations.

If the parties are unable to agree on the full terms of a 2025 National Agreement, the parties will declare an impasse, in accordance with Postal Reorganization Act of 1970. This will begin the process of impasse resolution, which will eventually culminate in interest arbitration.

The NPMHU Negotiations Team will continue meeting with their counterparts in the Postal Service—and will continue to consult with the Union’s Local and Regional leaders—in its pressing goal to secure a new National Agreement.
