Why Join Oregon Rural Letter Carriers' Association?

  • The National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association (NRLCA) has an effective legislative program in the Congress to promote and protect the interests of rural carriers.
  • NRLCA holds exclusive recognition to represent the rural carrier craft with the U.S. Postal Service.
  • NRLCA negotiates all labor agreements for the rural carrier craft with the USPS, including wages, benefits and working conditions.
  • Only the NRLCA can represent members of the rural carrier craft in the grievance procedure, including providing protection in disciplinary actions.
  • NRLCA has an excellent health insurance program; The Rural Carrier Benefit Plan which includes a prescription drug benefit program for Regular rural carriers, Part-Time Flexible carriers (PTF carriers), Retired members, and qualified leave replacements.
  • NRLCA offers, other than the health programs, some additional insurance programs: Dental (available to all members); Vision (available to all members); Life (for regular and PTF carriers only); Long Term Disability (for regular and PTF carriers only).
  • NRLCA also offers the Rural Carrier Auto Insurance Plan and the Homeowners’ Insurance Plan (Note: Check State Availability).
  • NRLCA provides a monthly publication, The National Rural Letter Carrier, to keep its members informed on postal and legislative matters of vital interest.
  • NRLCA provides information and fellowship for its members at county, district, state and national business meetings and at informational meetings where all members may participate in the democratic process of developing NRLCA policy.
  • NRLCA provides an official web site for its members at www.nrlca.org. It includes accurate, up-to-date information that affects your job, your wages, and the changing environment of the postal service. Only NRLCA Members can access the full web site.
  • Because of the union, no rural carrier can be involuntarily reassigned to another craft or job  in the postal service. More importantly, because of this union, no employee from another craft can be assigned into the rural craft. We are protected from that by the contract that was negotiated by the NRLCA.
  • Without the union, any one of us could be subject to lay-off. There would be no consideration of seniority or re-bidding the routes when an encumbered route was eliminated. If your route was gone-you would be, too.
  • Without the union, any one of us could be reassigned to another craft or job anywhere in the Postal Service and displaced employees from other crafts could be reassigned as rural carriers, taking future jobs away from our own RCAs.
  • Only members of the NRLCA are allowed to vote on officers of the union or hold office in the union.
  • Only members of the NRLCA can become union stewards.
  • Only active craft members of the NRLCA can vote on proposed new contracts with the USPS.
  • Only members of the NRLCA have access to union-provided assistance with Workers’ Compensation claims.
