Update from Ballot Committee on contract ratification election

The 15-member Ballot Committee, chaired by Paul Roznowski of Branch 3126, Royal Oak, MI, has released the following statement:

Beginning on Dec. 9, active letter carriers eligible to vote in the contract ratification process were mailed a ballot to vote on the proposed 2023-2026 National Agreement between NALC and USPS. Mailing of ballots has now been completed.

Included in the mailing are a letter from NALC President Brian L. Renfroe; a booklet containing all the contractual language changes in the tentative National Agreement; a summary of the tentative National Agreement provisions; a ballot and secrecy envelope; a return envelope; and instructions for casting a vote. For a ballot to be counted, it must be received by Jan. 13, 2025.

Regular members, excluding retirees, OWCP departees, and non-letter carrier regular members, as of 90 days prior to Oct. 17, the date the tentative National Agreement was reached, are eligible to vote in the contract ratification election, per Article 16 of the NALC Constitution. If you are eligible to vote on the proposed agreement and have not received a ballot in your mailbox by Dec. 19, call NALC Headquarters starting Dec. 20 at 202-393-0614 (9 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. Eastern time) to request a replacement ballot. A replacement ballot will be mailed after your eligibility is verified.

Further updates will be provided as necessary.
