Ratification Meetings

---

The  National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association and the United States  Postal Service have negotiated a Tentative Agreement to cover the  three-year period from May 21, 2024 to May 20, 2027. This Tentative  Agreement must be ratified by a majority of the voting membership of the  NRLCA to become effective. 

 A more detailed explanation of the changes  is included in the special Tentative Agreement edition of the National Rural Letter Carrier magazine and via ratification meetings to be held in every state in  accordance with Article XI, Section 1 of the Constitution of the  National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association. The required ratification  meetings will be held throughout the months of May and June 2025.

The  NRLCA National Board unanimously believes the Tentative Agreement is  fair and reasonable and is in the best interests of the 131,000  hardworking rural letter carriers across the country.  The Tentative  Agreement provides for substantial gains in wages and benefits for all  classifications of rural carriers.
