Beechcraft Model 18 — Normal Procedures

This document is the NALC-USPS Joint Contract Administration Manual (JCAM) for March 2022, which serves as a comprehensive guide for the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and the United States Postal Service (USPS). It outlines the collective bargaining agreement between the two parties, detailing the rights, responsibilities, and procedures for resolving disputes. The JCAM is intended for use by union representatives and management to ensure consistent application of the agreement and to facilitate grievance resolution. It includes various articles covering topics such as union recognition, non-discrimination, management rights, and grievance procedures. The manual is updated periodically to reflect changes in the agreement and to provide clarity on labor relations within the USPS.

• NALC is the exclusive bargaining representative for city letter carriers.
• Grievances related to discrimination can be filed within 14 days of the incident.
• Management must provide a safe working environment and address safety concerns promptly.
• The grievance-arbitration procedure is designed to resolve disputes at the local level before escalating to arbitration.
• Work hours, including overtime and breaks, are regulated to ensure fair treatment of employees.
