Hurricane Katrina
Dispute Resolution Process

APWU Web News Article #58-05, Oct. 27, 2005

The APWU and USPS have agreed that disputes arising from Hurricane Katrina should be recorded using the attached Administrative Dispute Resolution form [PDF], which should be completed as follows:

• Employees who feel their rights have been violated should contact a local union steward and complete the attached form;
• The steward should meet with local management to discuss each issue;
• If agreement is reached, the final disposition should be noted at the bottom of the form, the form should be signed, and the agreement implemented;
• If agreement cannot be reached, the form should be completed and signed. The form, along with any supporting documentation, should be forwarded to the Southern Region Coordinator’s Office, at the following address:

  Frankie Sanders, Southern Region Coordinator
  American Postal Workers Union
  256 N Sam Houston Pkwy E, Suite 112
