April 11 Update: Maintenance Division Part-Time Regular Settlement Payments
April 11, 2025Most eligible recipients of the Maintenance Craft Part-Time Regular (PTR) settlement distribution have received their first payments.

Awards and SettlementsMaintenance Division
Most eligible recipients of the Maintenance Craft Part-Time Regular (PTR) settlement distribution have received their first payments, totaling over $14.3 million. Some employees had payments rejected because management was unable to match them to Social Security numbers. They are now set to be paid this pay period, on or about April 11, 2025.
In addition, the Maintenance Division is working to identify approximately 50 conversions to full-time positions per the PTR agreement. The goal is to find PTRs who are already working at least 25-30 hours per week, and all PTRs who can pick up additional hours doing other duties, like lock changes.
The Maintenance Division has received inquiries about the second and final distribution. We are not releasing the second round of payments until all the first round has been completed. We anticipate that the second payment distribution will take place around June 2025 and the payments will range from $100 to $400.
Thank you for your continued patience.

Leo Kreyenbuhl Fills Cincinnati Region Clerk Division National Business Agent Vacancy
April 11, 2025In accordance with the APWU Constitution and Bylaws, the Clerk Division National Executive Council has appointed Leo Kreyenbuhl to fill the vacant Clerk Division Cincinnati Region National Business Agent position.
Clerk CraftClerk Division
Long-time Clerk Division National Business Agent (NBA) Mike Schmid retired on March 31, 2025. Mike represented clerks in the Cincinnati Region, covering IN, OH, and KY. Clerk Division Director Lamont Brooks extended an opportunity for all members in the region to offer their names for consideration to fill the vacancy.
Ultimately, based on recommendations from numerous locals in the region, along with those of Schmid and fellow Cincinnati Region NBA Michael Funk, Director Brooks selected Leo Kreyenbuhl. He then called a meeting of the Clerk Division National Executive Council (NEC), in accordance with the APWU Constitution and By-Laws. By unanimous vote, the NEC appointed Kreyenbuhl to fill the vacancy.
Leo Kreyenbuhl has been a clerk craft employee for 30 years, the last six years serving as a Lead Clerk in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. He has served as President of the Cuyahoga Falls Local 1963 for the past 20 years. Leo has also been an arbitration advocate for 12 years and conducted several pre-arbitration discussions for the three states in the Cincinnati Region. He has filled in for NBAs in their absences and has served as a lead instructor for the last two years at the Tri-State Stewards School at Miami University in Oxford, OH.
Kreyenbuhl is a veteran of the United States Air Force. He has a bachelor’s degree in business management from Malone College in Canton, OH and is married to Rachel, with whom they have a daughter, Summer. “I am truly honored and humbled by my appointment to the position of National Business Agent. I would like to thank Clerk [Division] Director Lamont Brooks, the Cincinnati NBAs, the Clerk Division officers, and the local presidents who provided input on my behalf for the opportunity to continue to serve the membership in this position,” Kreyenbuhl remarked.
“We received overwhelming endorsements of Leo from local presidents in the region. I have extreme confidence that he will be an outstanding NBA,” said Director Brooks.
Kreyenbuhl begins his term of office on Monday, April 15, 2025. The entire Clerk Division officers and members congratulate Leo and wish him the best.
