ARE YOU READY FOR THE 2024 ELECTION?
The 2024 elections are approaching quicker than you think, and the National Postal Mail Handlers Union (NPMHU) encourages all of its members to ensure they are registered to vote. The easiest way to check on your voter registration is to visit the non-partisan website, vote.org. There, you can verify your voter registration, register to vote, apply to vote by mail, and learn more about your state’s election laws.
Once again, the Postal Service will utilize local election mail task forces. These task forces, located in every postal facility across the country, will ensure all Mail Handlers and other postal employees know the extraordinary measures to get election and political mail out on time; identify best practices; and, recognize inefficiencies.
WHAT DOES THE ELECTION MEAN TO MAIL HANDLERS?
As recent national elections have come down to voter turnout, it is imperative that every member of the Union participates in the democratic process.
The Mail Handlers Union doesn’t vote party – we vote postal. When filling out your ballot, keep in mind which candidates would be best for your job, your benefits, and your family’s future.
POSTAL SERVICE HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAM
FACT SHEET FOR USPS EMPLOYEES
The Postal Service Reform Act of 2022 (PSRA) was signed into law in April 2022. Since then, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), in conjunction with the Postal Service, has seen working to implement a new Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program, as required under the new law.
Looking Ahead
Benefits can change over time. Employees are encouraged to review available plans each year and stay abreast of health insurance options. Additional information will be communicated in the coming months.
