USPS and Mail Carriers Secure Tentative Contract with Pay Raises and Air-Conditioned Trucks

The agreement, pending union ratification, promises improved compensation and modernized delivery vehicles for 200,000 letter carriers.

The tentative contract agreement includes backdated pay raises and a commitment to equip mail trucks with air-conditioning.
The deal, which covers city carriers, runs through November 2026 and requires ratification by union members.
Mail carriers have been working without a new contract since May 2023, continuing under the terms of the expired agreement.
The contract supports USPS's 'Delivering for America' mission to modernize and adapt to customer needs, with a focus on electric vehicle deployment.
Rural mail carriers are not included in this agreement as they are represented by a different union.
