Dispute Over Subcontracting AMC Work

The APWU recently initiated a Step 4 dispute over the Postal Service’s proposal to subcontract bargaining unit work (tender and receipt of mail) at 14 Air Mail Centers/Facilities. The union’s dispute asserts in part that the Postal Service failed to meet and afford the APWU the opportunity to provide our views on costs and other factors, as well as to submit proposals to avoid subcontracting and to minimize the impact of any subcontracting, during the development of the initial Comparative Analysis Report.
