Postal Supervisors and Managers Fairness Act of 2025
The Postal Supervisors and Managers Fairness Act of 2025 would amend title 39 of the U.S. Code to change how pay and fringe benefits for USPS supervisory and managerial personnel are negotiated. The bill sets explicit, time-bound steps for the Postal Service to present proposed changes to the supervisors’ organization (the representative for USPS supervisors) and to do so again within 60 days after a collective bargaining agreement affecting supervisor pay is reached. It directs the parties to use existing dispute-resolution procedures to work through differences and then requires a panel to issue a final, binding determination on pay policies, schedules, and fringe benefits within 15 days after the panel makes its recommendation. The goal is to create a more predictable, timely, and binding process for determining compensation and related benefits for managers and supervisors.
Key Points
- 1Establishes specific deadlines for proposals to the supervisors’ organization:
- 2- Not later than 60 days before a pay decision’s expiration.
- 3- Not later than 60 days after a collective bargaining agreement affecting supervisor pay is reached.
- 4Requires written proposals from the Postal Service on changes in pay policies, schedules, and fringe benefits for members of the supervisors’ organization.
- 5Encourages resolution of differences using the existing dispute-resolution procedures adopted under subsection (d) of section 1004.
- 6Adds a panel-based final step: within 15 days of the panel’s recommendation and after considering input, the panel must issue a final, binding determination on pay policies, schedules, and fringe benefits for supervisors and managers.
- 7Reinforces the relationship with the bargaining framework under section 1203 by formalizing the role of the supervisors’ organization as the counterpart and including the supervisory differential in negotiations.
