United States Postal Service, (2023)

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

BEFORE THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD

UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE

and Case 12-CA-302907

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LETTER

CARRIERS, BRANCH 1025, AFL-CIO

DECISION AND ORDER

Statement of the Case

On September 5, 2023, the United States Postal Service (the Respondent); National

Association of Letter Carriers, Branch 1025, AFL-CIO (Branch 1025); and the General Counsel

of the National Labor Relations Board entered into a Formal Settlement Stipulation, subject to

Board approval, providing for the entry of a consent order by the Board and a consent judgment

by any appropriate United States Court of Appeals. The parties waived all further and other

proceedings before the Board to which they may be entitled under the National Labor Relations

Act and the Board’s Rules and Regulations, and the Respondent waived its right to contest the

entry of a consent judgment or to receive further notice of the application therefor.

The National Labor Relations Board has delegated its authority in this proceeding to a

three-member panel.

The Formal Settlement Stipulation is approved and made a part of the record, and the

proceeding is transferred to and continued before the Board in Washington, D.C., for the entry of

a Decision and Order pursuant to the provisions of the Formal Settlement Stipulation.1

Based on the Formal Settlement Stipulation and the entire record, the Board makes the

following

1 We note that the remedy to which the parties have agreed differs in some respects from

previous broad orders that the Board has issued against the Respondent in cases alleging that the

Respondent has violated Sec. 8(a)(5) of the Act by failing and refusing to provide relevant

information. See, e.g., United States Postal Service, 345 NLRB 426 (2005), enfd. 486 F.3d 683

(10th Cir. 2007). These broad orders, as enforced by the United States Courts of Appeals,

remain in effect, and the Board’s approval of this stipulation does not modify these orders in any

respect.
