This podcast is based on an excerpt from the 2019-2022 National Agreement between the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and the United States Postal Service (USPS) outlines procedures for implementing technological and mechanization changes in the workplace. Specifically, it covers how both parties must notify the other about upcoming changes, the creation of a joint labor-management committee to address any disputes arising from these changes, and the requirement for management to offer new jobs to current employees if possible. It also discusses the process for providing rate protection for employees whose jobs are eliminated due to technological advancements.
