(WDNews) — Roughly 200,000 mail carriers have reached a tentative contract agreement with the U.S. Postal Service, which includes backdated pay raises and a commitment to equip delivery trucks with air conditioning. The deal, running through November 2026, is set to provide three annual pay raises of 1.3% for city carriers by 2025, along with retroactive and future cost-of-living adjustments.
The agreement, part of the Postal Service’s ‘Delivering for America’ mission to modernize operations, promises the introduction of 60,000 new delivery trucks, most of which will be electric.
The union’s members, who have been working without a contract since May 2023, are expected to vote on ratifying the deal in the coming weeks.
Rural carriers are not covered in this agreement, as they are represented by a different union.
