WASHINGTON — The United States Postal Service and the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) have agreed to further extend contract negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement. Although the contract with the APWU expired at midnight Thursday, September 20, 2018, the Postal Service and the APWU have mutually decided to extend negotiations to
December 7, 2018.

The APWU represents more than 192,000 employees who work as clerks, mechanics, vehicle drivers, custodians and some administrative positions.
