Union Family,

At a meeting with the Postal Service, it was confirmed that the first incentive payment due under the MOU Re: One-time Retirement Incentive, have been cut and should be available for employees to pick up at their last office of record on August 15, 2025.

According to the MOU a total of $15,000 minus appropriate deductions (taxes, etc.) will be paid. The incentive will be done in two payments:

  • $10,000 due August 15, 2025
  • $5,000 due August 28, 2026

Also, remember that part-time flexible and part-time regular employees will receive prorated amount. The proration can be found in the MOU that is attached or here:

Also, if employees have not done so or would like to for the payment next year, a form can be completed to have the check forwarded to them.  Further information and a link to the form can be found here: How to Receive One-Time Retirement Incentive Checks | American Postal Workers Union

APWU NPC Debate: Watch, Listen, Decide

The APWU National Presidents Conference (NPC) Debate remains one of the union’s most important democratic forums for national officer candidates. Held this past Saturday, the debate gave candidates a platform to present their positions directly to local and state leaders.

At present, the full video is the only official source available from the event. There are no written reports, summaries, or press releases from APWU or NPC posted online. If you want to understand where the candidates stand, watching the recording is your best move.

Focus on the substance: candidate platforms, policy discussions, and their vision for the union’s future. Then, when ballots arrive, you’ll be ready to cast an informed vote for our next leadership.
