About the Northeast Region
Coordinator's Office

The Northeast Region Coordinator is responsible for organizing the union's grievance activity at the Step 3 level and arbitration in eight states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The coordinator administers the scheduling of Step 3 grievances throughout the region; schedules arbitration hearings jointly with management for the cases that remain unresolved, and assigns the union's advocates.

The coordinator also receives notices from USPS management when excessing outside an installation is anticipated in the region, and receives information regarding the withholding of job vacancies. The coordinator shares the information with the affected locals and state organizations and organizes the union's response.

The coordinator meets with his management counterparts on other issues of concern to APWU members in the region, including the deployment of automated equipment and safety and health matters. The coordinator also develops labor-management agreements for the region.

There are four offices for National Business Agents in the Northeast Region, located in Danvers MA, Holyoke MA, New York, and Puerto Rico.

The Northeast Region is comprised of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

There are four other regional coordinators: Sharyn M. Stone, Central Region; Mike Gallagher, Eastern Region; William E. Sullivan, Southern Region; and Omar M. Gonzalez, Western Region.
