Board Memo 026-2022: NAPS Launches New Email Address for NAPS Form 1187 Application Submissions

October 7, 2022

Board Memo 026-2022: NAPS Launches New Email Address for NAPS Form 1187 Application Submissions

Executive Board

When signing up new members, we continue to encourage mailing the original Form 1187 applications to our office address listed at the bottom of the form. This is the best way to ensure a suitable application copy for processing. That said, in an effort to provide multiple avenues for submissions, we are launching a new email submission option.

NAPS Headquarters is launching the new email address join@naps.org for submitting new member Form 1187 applications electronically.

Important Information for Email Submissions:

• To submit a Form 1187 electronically, please include the full name of the applicant in the subject line with the following format: SUBJECT: 1187 - FIRST LAST NAME
• Please also include the name of the applicant in the body of the email, as well as your full name (the sender) and branch number. This is particularly important when submitting multiple applications in one PDF attachment. Please include the names of all applicants in the body of the email.
• The Form 1187 should be sent as an attachment (PDF or image file)—not an image in the body of the email. Photos of applications will not be accepted. It must be a clear, scanned copy (more information below).

NOTE: This email address should only be used to submit NAPS Form 1187 applications. For regular membership inquiries or to check on an applicant’s status, please respond to one of your DCO emails or contact naps.ec@naps.org.

To avoid processing delays or return of applications, please ensure the following:

• All required information is completed, including EIN, full SSN, Finance Number and Employee Signature.
• It is a clear scanned copy sent as an attachment to the email that, when printed, could pass as the original. A photo copy cannot be accepted. It must be scanned.
• It is a dark, clear & legible copy with all portions readable, including the printed NAPS agreement clause (not just the handwritten portions).
• There are no excess margins (white space) around the application; no portions of the title are cut off at the top nor excess space at the bottom. It should be a full 8.5x11-inch page that appears the same size as the original application with no cropping necessary. A shrunken copy will not be accepted.
• Full name & mailing information is provided in the sponsor section (bottom of the form) in order to receive a $25 sign-up credit. Failure to include full or legible information may result in no recognition. The address provided on the form is the address to which a $25 check will be mailed. Please avoid shorthand for city names.

These parameters apply for mailed submissions as well. Failure to meet these requirements (last item only if applicable) can result in delays or errors in processing. Illegible or incomplete applications cannot be processed.

Applications submitted via email should only be sent to join@naps.org from this point forward—not to any other email address.

Thank you for your continued recruitment efforts. We at NAPS Headquarters are working hard to reward your efforts as we work together to grow membership.

Please share this information with your branch officers and membership. 

Thank you.

Board Memo 022-2022 SDC - DPMG Management Association Update

August 16, 2022

Board Memo 022-2022: SDC - DPMG Management Association Update

NAPS Executive Board Members,

NAPS HQ has been in communication with the US Postal Service pertaining to the S&DC’s (Sorting & Delivery Centers) initiative. Sites selected by the Postal Service are chosen on specific criteria. Currently the following sites have been chosen meeting the criteria:

Mid-Hudson Processing & Distribution Center (P&DC)

Utica Processing & Distribution Facility (P&DF)

Southeastern P&DC

Kalamazoo P&DC

Gainesville P&DF

Athens P&DC

Columbus Main Office

NorthPark Station (Topeka)

New Castle P&DF

Bryan P&DC

The intended implementation of this project was set for August 27, 2022. We have been informed the sites, with the exception of Athens P&DC in Georgia, will not be ready for full implementation by the projected date so therefore will be held off until after election season, peak season or when all aspects of the operation will allow, whichever is later. The Athens P&DC is scheduled for full implementation in late September of 2022. NAPS has been informed that it is likely additional carrier routes may be added to the delivery zones that will be involved in this project.

The NAPS Resident Officers have expressed questions primarily regarding the staffing for these facilities pertaining to Supervisors, Managers, and Postmasters. NAPS has been informed no decision has been made pertaining to the number of non-bargaining employees.

It is our expectation that the implementation of the S&DC’s which is part of the Postal Service’s 10-year plan will allow Postmasters the ability to reconnect with the community they serve therefore re-establishing the prestige of the position. Also, NAPS expects and will advocate for no movement of supervisory or other managerial personal until these new facilities are properly level set to the new processing operations.

NAPS is requesting that in good faith the Postal Service maintain the Modified Pay Provisions as established during this COVID 19 pandemic, until such time that all pay processes have been returned to pre-Modified Pay Provision status and all PS Form 50’s have been reissued with the proper FLSA designation for EAS 18 and above that were originally FLSA Exempt.

Board Memo 058-2020: USPS Modifies AL Carryover for Leave Year 2020 and Annual Leave Exchange for Leave Year 2021

Executive Board,

 Due to the impacts of COVID-19 on travel, postal staffing shortages and state quarantine guidelines, etc., some members were unable to take vacation this year. As a result, this created a situation where numerous EAS could possibly lose earned annual leave by the end of the USPS 2020 leave year.  Therefore, at the August 2020 USPS/NAPS consultative meeting, NAPS requested the USPS increase the maximum annual leave carryover and annual leave exchange amounts. 

USPS notified NAPS that our request was a pay talk issue and would be reviewed separately from the monthly consultative.  Per NAPS’s request, the USPS agreed to modify ELM 512.321, Maximum Carryover Amounts with an alternate decision to NAPS’s request.  The attached September 3, 2020 correspondence provides details regarding the USPS’s decision to modify its annual leave and leave exchange policy.

In brief, for Leave Year 2020, the USPS increased the maximum carryover by 80 hours.  For Leave Year 2021, the maximum annual leave exchange (ALE) amount was increased by 40 hours.  NAPS appreciates the Postal Service decision to modify this policy to protect EAS well-earned annual leave during this pandemic. NAPS does encourage active members to take their annual leave for rest, for recreation and for personal purposes. This memo and attachment will be posted on the Bulletin Board of NAPS’s website, naps.org. Please share with your membership.

Board Memo 052-2020: USPS HQ Announces New Business Plan

August 7, 2020

Board Memo 052-2020: USPS HQ Announces New Business Plan

Executive Board,

Today, August 7, 2020, the Postal Service notified NAPS Headquarters that a new USPS business plan has been approved by the USPS Board of Governors (BOG). The first part of the new plan involves a realignment of the USPS area organizational structure to focus on three business lines, involving retail and delivery, logistics and processing and commerce. As reported in USPS announcements (attached), “ … [T]hese organizational changes do not initiate a reduction-in-force, and there are no immediate employee impacts.” Also attached is the new USPS organizational chart.

Over the past several weeks, NAPS Headquarters has closely monitored changes in Postal Service operational approaches and surrounding developments.  At our last USPS-NAPS consultative session on July 27, 2020, USPS noted that these operational changes were not subject to USPS-NAPS consultation because they fell within the scope of existing policies and rules, even if outside the norm of past practice. That perspective may not necessarily apply to future practices, as NAPS receives additional information from USPS on the business plan and realignment consequences.  NAPS intends to fully exercise all available consultation rights on all appropriate matters.

We will continue to keep our membership fully advised on these developments and to make available our resources and assistance to our members.  For example, in the deployment of cost-cutting strategies, where EAS employees become subject to debt determination letters for the cost of extra trips or unauthorized overtime, the services of the NAPS Disciplinary Defense Fund (DDF) will be available for members subject to false charges of extra trip or overtime fees. Similarly, the DDF will remain available to represent members subject to disciplinary charges for following proper instructions leading to the delay of mail, missed deliveries, or other grounds.

As the USPS implements the new business plan, it is important that members follow all proper instructions, verbal or written. When NAPS members receive verbal instructions outside postal policies or guidelines, they should follow-up with an email to their manager or higher-level leadership to request clarification. Furthermore, if a member is unsure of an order, be sure to review ELM 665.15 Obedience to Orders, which states; If an employee has reason to question the propriety of a supervisor's order, the individual must nevertheless carry out the order and may immediately file a protest in writing to the official in charge of the installation or may appeal through official channels.

NAPS is committed to the success of the Postal Service. We are also committed to our members’ success and protecting their livelihoods and rights in the workplace. To that end, NAPS will consult in good faith with the USPS and provide postal leadership with input to achieve success for both parties.

As more information becomes available on the USPS business plan and its impact, NAPS will provide timely and relevant updates.  Please share this memo with your membership. 

Thank you and stay safe.

Board Memo 044-2020: USPS 120-Day Rule /Union MOUs Temporarily
Extended Due to COVID-19

Executive Board,

Because of the current COVID-19 climate, the USPS has extended the 120-Day

between NAPS and the USPS, consultation in accordance with Title 39 did not
occur on this extension. NAPS will not object to this current extension, but has
expressed that all vacant EAS positions be filled to avoid any future extension of
this policy.
In addition, the USPS has extended numerous COVID related union MOU’s until
September 25, 2020. Those specific MOU’s are not attached, but may be found on
the NAPS website at naps.org on our NAPS COVID-19 Information & Resources

Board Memo 042-2020: NAPS’ Ask Please Wear A Mask!

Board Memo 042-2020: NAPS’ Ask – Please Wear A Mask!

Executive Board,

The National Association of Postal Supervisors (NAPS) is committed to the safety and health of its members, their families and all postal employees, not only during a pandemic, but at all times. Currently, the news and medical experts are reporting an increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations across many states, including Florida, Texas and California, just to name a few.  Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic is not going away anytime soon. We ask members not to underestimate the affects this pandemic can have on their health or the health of their families and with whom they work.

The attached Postal Service face covering guidelines is a reminder to all postal employees to continue to practice social distancing and to wear face coverings to protect themselves during the coronavirus pandemic.  NAPS supports these USPS guidelines as they are intended to protect the health and safety of all. NAPS Headquarters is asking all EAS to comply with the USPS face mask policy when on the clock.  We want to avoid non-compliance issues of our members that may result in corrective action!  But, just as important, we want to avoid any NAPS member, EAS or other postal employee contracting COVID-19, resulting in a serious health issue that cannot be corrected.

NAPS cannot overemphasize the importance for all members, active and associate, to wear face masks/coverings while at work or in the public.  NAPS highly encourages not just members, but all EAS, to lead by example and wear face masks/coverings and practice social distancing in the workplace or in public places while on the clock. We further ask that you continue to lead by example, when off the clock, by practicing the same social distancing and face covering protocols.

Again, the COVID-19 virus is still spreading and the daily reporting of new confirmed cases and the analysis tracing indicates that positive tested employees admitted they were not wearing face coverings! Additionally, along with face coverings, the best defense against the spread of coronavirus and other illnesses is to regularly wash your hands for at least 20 seconds. Always cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing by using a tissue or your elbow.

NAPS is very proud of postal employees, especially all active EAS and retired NAPS members for their dedication, commitment and hard work during these very challenging and difficult times to deliver America’s mail or support those who do. Please share this board memo and its attachments with your membership.  This memo will also be posted on the NAPS website. 

Thank you in advance for your attention and support in this matter.  Be and stay safe!

Board Memo 023-2020: 2020 National Convention Resolutions

Board Memo 023-2020: 2020 National Convention Resolutions (4/16/20)

NAPS Headquarters understands that the majority of national convention resolutions are supported and passed at NAPS state conventions.  Due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, many scheduled Spring and Summer NAPS state conventions have been cancelled. NAPS thanks those state branches and their respective NAPS national regional and area vice presidents for their action to protect NAPS members and their families against the spread of COVID-19. These convention cancellations may impact how NAPS state approved resolutions may be submitted for the 2020 National Convention. 

Though a NAPS state convention may have been cancelled that does not prohibit a NAPS state or local branch, including state executive boards, from submitting national convention resolutions by the July 7^th deadline. There is no NAPS National Constitution & Bylaws requirement that requires a resolution be first approved at a NAPS state convention prior to submission to NAPS headquarters for publication in the national convention One Book. In previous national conventions, local branches have sent in national convention resolutions on their own. 

NAPS headquarters continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its possible impact on our upcoming national convention. If a change in our convention is necessary NAPS HQ will advise members as soon as reasonably possible. However, at this time, national convention resolutions are due to NAPS Headquarters by July 7^th for publication in the convention One Book. Any resolution received after the July 7^th deadline will not be accepted for publication in the One Book.  Therefore, the respective branch must submit 1,500 copies of their resolution to the NAPS Executive Vice President at the national convention before the resolution deadline outlined in the approved national convention rules.

Please share this information with your members. This board memo will also be posted on the NAPS website, www.naps.org. Thank you and be safe.

Executive Board,

The Resident Officers received the update below from our NAPS Disciplinary Defense Provider, Al Lum of LRAG, LLC. 

Hope that you are doing well.  An update on processing Merit System Protection Board (MSPB) appeals and Debt Collection Act (DCA) petitions.  Both MSPB and Judicial Offices are closed.  Judges and staff are working remotely.  Cases will continue to be filed with MSPB and the Judicial Office (electronically).  However, cases are proceeding at a slower pace.  For example, parties are requesting extensions for filings and hearings are being postponed.  The forums are reviewing alternatives for in person hearings - Voom (video/teleconferencing).  Judges are granting most, if not all requests.  Note, LRAG has not received or seen anything in writing waiving deadlines for filing appeal/petitions.  

I will continue to pick-up my mail, don't delay in sending any actions for appeal.  If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. 

Stay well, be safe,

changes in pay and benefits for postal supervisors and mid-level employees.

Board Memo 013-2020: NAPS Lawsuit Status as of March 3, 2020 (3/3/2020)

Executive Board,

The National Association of Postal Supervisors (NAPS) continues to await DC District Court Judge
Royce Lamberth’s ruling on USPS’ motion to dismiss NAPS’ lawsuit. NAPS and USPS have filed all pleadings regarding the motion and now await the court’s ruling. If the judge denies USPS’ motion
to dismiss, the case will then proceed to discovery, and then to trial.

We hope to receive a ruling on the USPS motion to dismiss later this spring, though the precise
timing is difficult to predict. Our lawsuit is a civil case and is one of thousands of civil cases
before the DC District Court. Under law, federal courts must give priority to the handling of
criminal cases over civil cases. We will be notified through our counsel as soon as a ruling in
our case has been issued, and we will continue to keep you advised of developments as they occur.

Thank you.

Board Memo 008-2020: NAPS New Membership Brochure Mailed to 10K+ Eligible Non-Members (2/21/20)

Executive Board,

Attached is a PDF version of NAPS Headquarters’ new membership brochure.  The brochure is part of NAPS’ 80/20 membership initiative. NAPS is encouraging each NAPS branch to increase their membership to 80% or higher in 2020.  Overall, national NAPS membership is at approximately 72%.

This week NAPS mailed our new membership brochure to over 10,000 eligible non-members. Besides containing excellent information about the benefits of NAPS membership, an 1187 and business reply envelope were enclosed to make becoming a NAPS member easier for current non-members. As an added incentive, new members completing and submitting the NAPS 1187 will receive a $50 Signature Federal Credit Union NAPS Gift Card.

Mr. Robert Levi and Family
