The National Postal Mail Handlers Union (NPMHU) membership has ratified a new three-year labor contract with the Postal Service.
The contract covers approximately 43,000 employees represented by the union.
Highlights of the agreement include annual general wage increases, a reduction in the employer share of health premiums, increased flexibility to use non-career mail handler assistant employees, and enhanced health benefits for eligible mail handler assistants.

The new agreement runs through Sept. 20, 2022.
