The National APWU Website states:

"APWU President Mark Dimondstein reports that the national union leadership will make an announcement on Friday December 21, 2018 regarding the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the APWU and the USPS." 

It was previously posted that the announcement was to be made on December 7, 2018. Why was there a two week delay? I do not believe that this delay would be to announce we are going to arbitration. So, the other reason would be that an agreement has been reached and that the Rank and File has to approve this agreement before presenting to the membership for ratification. 

Some of the Rank and File Committee have posted on Facebook that they are back in Washington DC. So, in my opinion there must be concerns about this agreement, since this is the second time the Rank and File has visited DC in last two weeks. 

In 2011 many APWU National and Local leaders lost their elections due to what many saw as a Concessionary Contract. I believe that if any National Officer or Rank and File Member votes in favor of a Concessionary Contract in 2018, they should suffer the same fate. 

In Honor of President Bush

The PMG just announced that the USPS will participate in the day of mourning per 519.4 of the ELM

Management just released the following statement : President Donald J. Trump has proclaimed Dec. 5 as a national day of mourning throughout the United States and has called on the American people to pay homage to memory of former President George H.W. Bush on that day.

Out of respect for President Bush, the nation’s 41st commander in chief, and to honor his vast contributions to the United States during his lifetime, and consistent with the presidential proclamation, the Postal Service will observe the national day of mourning.

The Postal Service will suspend regular mail delivery and retail service Dec. 5. USPS will provide limited package delivery service on that day to ensure that the Postal Service network remains fluid and USPS does not experience any impacts to its package delivery operations that might negatively affect customers or business partners during the remainder of the busy holiday season.

All Postal Service facilities — including headquarters in Washington, DC, and area and district administrative offices — are included in the national day of mourning. Local managers will advise employees on staffing levels to maintain operations and prepare for the resumption of regular activities Thursday, Dec. 6.

Pay and leave administration for the national day of observance for affected bargaining unit employees is governed by section 519.4 of the ELM 519.4 provisions of May 4, 2000, memorandums of agreement between the Postal Service and the APWU
