Some 200,000 letter carriers have reached a tentative contract deal with the U.S. Postal Service that includes backdated pay raises and a promise to provide workers with air-conditioned trucks.

Some 200,000 mail carriers have reached a tentative contract deal with the U.S. Postal Service that includes backdated pay raises and a promise to provide workers with air-conditioned trucks.

The new agreement, which still needs to be ratified by union members, runs through November 2026. Letter carriers have been working without a new contract since their old one expired in May 2023. Since then they have continued working under the terms of the old contract.

Both the union and the Postal Service welcomed the agreement, which was announced Friday.

    I really like the look of them. Quirky but functional. I’d love to have one to turn into a camper, since I don’t think the ID.Buzz is getting the Westfalia treatment.

      Not going to happen in your lifetime… they are already trying to figure out how to get rid of the LLV during the phase out stage where people won’t be able to reuse them on the secondary market and impersonate postal workers.
