If you are an employee of the United States Postal Service (USPS), you may have noticed a slight increase in your next paycheck. However, before you start counting your extra dollars, it’s important to understand the context of this pay increase.
The USPS recently implemented a modest pay raise for its employees, with an average increase of around 1.2%. While any increase in pay is certainly welcome, this raise is nothing to brag about. In fact, it barely keeps up with the rate of inflation, meaning that in real terms, employees are not actually gaining much in terms of purchasing power.
This minimal pay increase comes at a time when USPS employees are facing a number of challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic has put additional strain on the postal service, with employees having to work longer hours and under more stressful conditions to meet the increased demand for package delivery.
Furthermore, the USPS has been facing financial difficulties for some time, with the organization posting significant losses in recent years. These financial challenges have led to concerns about the long-term stability of the postal service and have also raised questions about the future of employee benefits and retirement packages.
Given these circumstances, the pay increase offered by USPS does little to address the larger issues facing employees. Many workers are hoping for more substantial raises and improved working conditions, particularly in light of the vital role they play in keeping the country connected through mail and package delivery.
So, while the pay increase in your next paycheck may be a small bonus, it’s important to keep the bigger picture in mind. The USPS and its employees are facing significant challenges, and a minimal pay raise is not enough to address the broader issues at hand. It’s essential for both the postal service and its employees to work together to find solutions that will benefit everyone in the long run.
So this does mean the city carrier craft right?
I’ll sum up all the employee pay woes for every company in 2023:
These companies are now taking advantage of the fact that they save more money by having a high turnover rate, versus retaining employees. That’s why UPS has a story that seems almost unbelievable……because the other 99% of us are with companies that don’t pay adequately.
Don't get me wrong, I love the APWU. It is November and they have a game plan for 8 months from now. That is great, a lot can happen in 8 months, but please I don't want any pay increases for this contract, keep the COLAs coming. You can make more money by no pay increase because then your dues won't go up and your health care won't go up. Give us raises everything else goes up and we end up losing.
We are fools i dont understand why WE are all ok topping out at 12 yrs and NO raise after that please correct me if im wrong…. i dont see working a whole bunce of yrs with NO raise …i stress about that ALL the time
We Need A New Union! The Management At The Top Of This Organization Make All Of The Money While The Little People At The Bottom Make Crappy Wages Compared With How Hard We Work!!!
What's top pay, how many hours expected to work
Any raise is a good raise with more of them coming next year should be good. I’ll take it some people never get raises at work. Also with the new contract coming next year it’s only going to get better. Thanks j h for keeping us informed!
You can't fight the monster known as USPS ! No complaints here. Y'all getting screwed hard and fast!
No craft should make more than carriers and tto drivers they are the face of the post office starting pay should be $30 the mailhandler craft should be with the clerks
It's ok no double next month. So work harder for less pay.
It’s pointless paying dues those mfs are useless I mean a 1.3 % increase? What a joke.
LEVEL 10 FOR ALL TTOS
Where can I find this article ?
Oh boy! 1.3%! Now I can pay the increase in my electric bill! No, wait – damn. My rent just went up $1200/year. That's more than 1.3% – it's a 7.25% increase in my rent costs and food prices are still not coming down. 50 bucks for two people to go out to eat if we are going to sit down. Groceries are $400 a month, so I have to buy cheaper food to keep costs manageable. Getting fatter because of it. Can't upgrade my computer without breaking the bank. Gas is at $4 per gallon, which is the lowest all year. Not like I drive anywhere but the union hall.
All on my Postal Salary of $50K after busting my butt for four and a half years, two of which are not counted. No life but the Post Office. 11 years to go before I get a somewhat respectable pay to scrape the bottom of middle class in my area. I'll be 62.
Why do we not have waves of hundreds of applicants beating down our door? All of the above and management abuse. They throw the contract over their shoulder, glare at us in challenge as they ignore grievances, RFIs, payouts, and dismiss anything stewards say. This company is coming apart at the seams in some areas and national tells us not to disclose what happens at RAP. FML, why did I choose a government job? I thought it would mean security and allow me to have days outside, talking to people, and serving my country. Now I get pushed to talk to no one, the weather/pandemic can be deadly, and I have half a route to do after mine's done.
And they wonder why we talk about strikes, protests, and finding/creating new unions.
So CCAs not getting raises?
We cant compare ourselves to UPS they profited 70+billion we on the other hand lost 6+ billion. Do we deserve a raise hell yeah but the post office is trying to stay afloat as it is
I really appreciate your honest views and the way that you look at issues from both sides then give an honest opinion or assessment. Keep up the good work by informing us on the postal service.
Where i live the post office is one of the highest paying jobs, without a degree needed, but i can only imagine how hcol places are taking it. It must be a spit in the face
NALC again with no update… absolute garbage of a union
Called the business agent and they told me that telling us what is in the contract will hurt our negotiations…yeah because all of us will call BS
I thought of getting back into post office. It’s just filling out application online is a pain.
As an MHA about to be converted (#13 on the seniority list) This MHA position should have a starting salary of $45k, then when you get converted its a $5k increase to $50k, then the steps begin and should only take no more than 10 years to reach top pay. Realistically 5-8 years would be nice. Heard it takes likes 12-15 years or something.
They need to pay mha better if they gonna let us go and bring us back just to pay us penny's, also they dnt work around ppl having jobs to survive in California
They need better working schedules for ptf
I think clerks are going to be fighting for our position
1.3 is bullshit it's only about 15 percent behind inflation
NALC better come with something good or it's gonna get voted down.
ME, AS A PSE, PERSONALLY FEEL THAT IF WE WORK OVER 40HRS 4 @ LEAST 6 MONTHS, WE SHOULD BECOME REGULAR AND NOT HAVE 2 WAIT THE 2YRS…
I told the union we need that ups money and they just laughed in my face. I will like the pay bumps to come faster waiting 12 years before your at top pay is crazy.
Does it affect Mailhandlers as well?

They need to pay us asap
