GOT AN OVERPAYMENT LETTER?

USPS ISSUES OVERPAYMENT LETTERS:
LETTERS OF DEMAND TO FOLLOW

Some employees have received overpyament notices, from the USPS, related to the Article 1.6 Global Settlement payouts from 2016. These letters [sample] indicate that the employee received an overpayment and that the postmaster or supervisor will be issuing a Letter of Demand seeking to recover the monies paid.

Of course, it goes without saying that ANY employee who receives a Letter of Demand should immediately contact their shop steward.

If you receive one of these overpayment letters, you should complete PS Form 3074 - Waiver of Erroneous Payment and submit it to your postmaster. You should also provide a copy to your steward.

THE WAR IS OVER!

     Postal management informed the APWU in writing that the “Approved Shipper” program in Staples stores will be shut down by the end of February 2017. This victory concludes the APWU’s three-year struggle.
     The boycott against Staples is over! “I salute and commend every member and supporter who made this victory possible,” said APWU President Mark Dimondstein. “I never doubted that if we stayed the course, stuck together and kept the activist pressure on, we would win this fight.”
