June 22, 2025Second Payment of $15 Million Settlement for Part-time Regular Workers Announced
Part-Time RegularsAwards and SettlementsMaintenance Division
The second payment of the Part-time Regular (PTR) settlement is now being processed.
APWU set aside $750,000 to cover anyone missed during the first payments. The second and final payments have now started processing. The payment was calculated using the same criteria as the first payment.
The payment amounts will range from $965 to $50. Please note that some employees will not qualify for a second payment due to their individual situation.
Fifty Full-time Regular Promotions
The criteria established for Part-Time Regulars (PTRs) to be converted to a full-time position are as follows:
1. A current PTR who has been working 28 to 30 hours per week consistently.
A PTR will be converted in place (same office, same daysoff, expanded hours). Employees can request to be converted to a Full-time Custodian or as a Building Maintenance Custodian, PS 5, subject to successful completion of the Bulk Mail Center (BMC) test.
The USPS and APWU jointly selected 50 employees nationwide for promotion. Each employee at the selected location will receive a letter from the USPS offering them the option to become a full-time employee. Employees will have the right to decline to be converted to a Full-time Regular (FTR), the decline must be in writing. We will select from another location if we do not receive a total of 50 PTRs seeking conversion to FTR.

June 18, 2025The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) adopted a rule change in 2015, along with many other components of this rule change, was the requirement that the Medical Examiner who performs a Commercial Driver Certification physical will electronically notify the commercial operator’s state driver license agency. This part of the rule change had been postponed multiple times. This additional part of the rule change will go into effect on June 23, 2025. When a commercial driver has been given a physical, those results will be transmitted to the FMCSA within 24 hours and sent by the FMCSA to the State Driver’s License Agency (SDLA). There will no longer be a need to provide the medical examiner certificates to the state driver’s license agency. When getting a CDL physical, the driver should ask for a copy to carry with them for the first few weeks. *USPS has not notified the union or our members of these mandatory changes.
