ABOUT US BENEFITS LINKS PHOTOS CONTACT US



The NPMHU is a national organization of employees dedicated to advancing the interests of its members and their families. The primary purpose of the Union is to negotiate and enforce a National Agreement with the U.S. Postal Service, a contract that establishes wages, cost-of-living adjustments and other pay increases, working conditions, and fringe benefits for all workers within its jurisdiction. The Union also protects workers’ rights by representing them in day-to-day problems on the job, like discipline, violations of seniority, discrimination, or other management abuse, and addresses such work-place concerns as safety, health, and the impact of technological change.

The National Postal Mail Handlers Union (NPMHU) is recognized as the exclusive collective bargaining agent for Mail Handlers employed by the United States Postal Service.

NPMHU membership is open to any Mail Handler of the USPS regardless of race, color, sex, age or national origin. Anyone else employed by the Federal Government or the Postal Service, who does not otherwise qualify for regular membership in the Union, may join as an associate member.

Mail Handler members belong to a local union, with jurisdiction in their city, town, or area. Locals elect their own officers and conduct their own day-to-day business. They negotiate a Local Memorandum of Understanding to supplement the National Agreement on certain local concerns.

To become a member of the Union, complete a Form 1187 (available from your steward or other Union officer). Dues will be deducted from your paycheck automatically. If you work in a very small office, or if you have any difficulty getting information, please contact the National Office of the NPMHU at:

1101 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 500,

Washington, D.C. 20036
