The Postal Service is critical to our economy - delivering mail, medicine and packages on time and at an affordable price, without a dime of taxpayer money.
Reducing delivery days or closing post offices and facilities will not restore the health of the Postal Service. It would likely drive mailers away and therefore worsen the Postal Service's financial problems.
Make your voice heard and sign the petition to save six-day mail delivery.
New EMA Rate
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the February 2012 CPI-W Private Transportation Index. Based on this release, the Equipment Maintenance Allowance for rural carriers will increase by 1.5¢ to 71.5¢ per mile.
Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, Section 2.J.3 of the USPS/NRLCA National Agreement, effective April 7, 2012 (Pay Period 09-12), the Equipment Maintenance Allowance (EMA) will increase from 70.0 cents per mile to 71.5 cents per mile, or a minimum of $28.60 per day, whichever is greater.

MANDITORY
The Constitution of the NRLCA in Article IX Section 6.C.5 provides that “The Local Steward shall maintain certification by attending annual enhancement training as required. Failure to do so will result in decertification by the State Steward.” Further, in Article IX Section 3.B.5, the Constitution mandates for the State Steward “To provide enhancement (refresher) training to all stewards on an annual basis”. State Steward Delbert Hutchisson has scheduled four training classes and is looking forward to certifying all stewards for the 2012 association year.

27 Pay Periods in 2011 Leave Year Additional Annual Leave Earning No Change to Carryover Limit
The 2011 leave year began January 1, 2011 (Pay Period 02-11) and ends January 13, 2012 (Pay Period 02-12) for a total of 27 pay periods. Therefore, employees may earn one additional pay period’s worth of annual leave during the 2011 leave year as compared to the typical 26 pay period leave year. For a full-time employee, the extra pay period amount will be 4, 6, or 8 hours, depending on the employee’s leave earning category; the pay period amount is prorated for part-time employees.
Although employees may earn one additional pay period’s worth of annual leave during leave year 2011, the annual leave carryover maximums will not increase for leave year 2011. Employees must use any annual leave in excess of the standard carryover limit that applies to them by the end of leave year 2011 (January 13, 2012) or they will forfeit the hours of annual leave that are in excess of their carryover limit.
Employees may also earn an additional increment of sick leave during leave year 2011. For a full-time employee, the extra pay period amount will be 4 hours; the pay period amount is prorated for part-time employees. However, there is no carryover limit for sick leave.
Definition: The leave year is the year beginning with the first day of the first complete pay period in a calendar year and ending on the day before the first day of the first complete pay period in the following calendar year.
