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
(202) 833-9095.
