Rural carriers headed for arbitration

It was announced today from NRLCA headquarters that the negotiations have reached an impasse and most likely the next step will be arbitration.

The central issues are COLA, health benefits, EMA and time standards.

The USPS is asking for elimination of the COLA as well as a 2% increase in contribution to health plans. Also, reduction in annual leave and sick leave accrual. They are also asking for a locality based pay scale and less contribution to EMA.
