OPM Notifies APWU: Early Outs Approved
Burrus Update #11-03, June 16, 2003
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has informed the union that the Postal Service's Jan. 23, 2003, request for authority to offer Voluntary Early Retirement to APWU-represented employees has been approved.
The Collective Bargaining Agreement between the APWU and the USPS, approved in December 2002, required management to seek authority to offer early retirement to all eligible APWU-represented employees.
I will meet with USPS officials June 20 to review the procedures for offering early retirement opportunities to our members.
Employees will be notified by management of their eligibility and local unions will be informed of the specific steps to be followed.
As additional information becomes available, it will be shared in a future update.
William Burrus,
President
