Ex-President Burrus Attacks APWU Tentative Contract

Ex-President Burrus Attacks APWU Tentative Contract : PostalReporter News BlogThis tentative agreement will turn back the clock and erase those years of struggle.

Notwithstanding the rationalization, if this contract is ratified, future employees will suffer reductions in pay of more than $300 per pay, more than $600 per month and over $8,000 per year. Over a 30 year career these losses will exceed more than $250,000 and will continue into retirement, when the annuity includes the salary reductions. In total, each employee hired after the date of this contract will receive over $300,000 less for performing the same work. Can you imagine why postal management would agree to non economic changes if they can succeed in lowering wages in this amount?
