The Postal Service and the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association (NRLCA) have reached a tentative negotiated agreement.

Upon ratification by the union membership, which will take several weeks, the agreement will run through May 20, 2027.

“This agreement is economically responsible, fair to our employees and serves the best interest of our customers,” said Acting Postmaster General Doug Tulino. “The agreement aligns with the Delivering for America 10-year plan’s intent to provide reliable, value-driven mail and package delivery service to all Americans in fulfillment of our universal service obligation.”

The NRLCA represents more than 130,000 rural letter carriers nationwide.
