for Fiscal Years 2011-2015. Postmaster Salary Range Increase of 6.5% from January 2013 through January 2016.
“Severe Financial Difficulties” Cited, as PFP Salary Rating Applications are Suspended for FY 2011 and FY 2012.
After 4 months of pay talks between representatives from both Postmaster organizations and the Postal Service, today the Postal Service issued a final decision concerning changes in pay policies, schedules, and fringe benefit programs for Postmasters.
Below is a jointly released statement from NAPUS President Bob Rapoza and League President Mark Strong, both leaders expressed disappointment that many of the proposals they presented were not included in the pay package.
“During the past four months, NAPUS and the League have been engaged in pay talks with the Postal Service. During this time we presented our case and put forth our best arguments to no avail due to the current financial condition of the postal service Today we received the final pay package delivered to our offices..”
“At the beginning of Pay Talks the postal service had projected a loss of $8.5 billion and now, 120 days later, the projected loss is $10 billion. This financial crisis we are in is through no fault of the more than 26,000 Postmasters who work extremely hard to manage the postal services most critical operations and provide universal service to the American public. While realizing that the financial condition of the Postal Service dictated the tone of the pay talks process, we believe that some of our recommendations could have been included in the package without adding significant costs to the program.”
“The Pay Package includes a 6.5% increase in the minimum and maximum salary ranges of the EAS pay schedule from January 2013 through January 2016. However, PFP Program ratings will be suspended and not be applied to salaries for FY 2011 and FY 2012. A determination as to whether PFP ratings will be applied to salaried for 2013 through 2015 will be based on the economic condition of the Postal Service during those years.”
“The Performance Evaluation System (PES) is discontinued and a joint work group will be established by the Postmaster associations and the Postal Service, to determine how to incorporate the compensation portion of the discontinued PES into the NPA component of the PFP Program.”
“It is not just Postmasters that will have to manage without a pay raise in 2011 and 2012. The entire federal work force is in the same boat and there are a lot of people around the country who’ve lost their jobs, and others who seen a decline in wages.”

The truth is if management want’s to set the example, they should take a 10% pay cut. There are some great postmasters and supervisors, but unfortunately there are just as many bad. Too bad Donahue puts such a premium on the bad ones. Suckas
” THIS FINANCIAL CRISIS WE ARE IN IS THROUGH NO FAULT OF THE 26,000 POSTMASTERS THAT WORK EXTREMELY HARD” CAN YOU FRIGGING BELIEVE THIS COMMENT !!!! THESE IDIOTS HAVE NO CLUE !!!!!! GET RID OF ALL OF THEM NOW AND REPLACE THEM WITH BABOONS !!!!! NO DIFFERENCE !!!!!
if you look at private sector Fortune 500 companies they have used the Peter Drucker management model for last 15-20 years………….middle management was cut way down.
po has 110,000 mismanagers with hundreds of fancy titles & positions that do not add to the bottom line…..they subtract. marketing people that do not market, sales people that do not sell, inplant support,injury comp, maintenance, custodial, transportation maintenance, eeoc, labor relations, personnel, MDO’s SDO’s, Postmasters, POOM’s- yada, yada, yada.
with 389,000 abled bodied workers (I am not counting the 90,000 on lite/limited/IOD because this is another po mismanagement mess) you have a ratio of 1 mismanger for 3.8 workers-way out of wack compared to private sector. in addition 99% of po mismanagers have no college education. posers who are really not qualified to work in those fancy titled positions.(do you really think 99% of Exxon-Mobil or Microsoft management has no college degree? more like 99% do—-po is like alice in wonderland, everything is upside down.)
110,000 can be cut to 30,000 its called lean & mean. current po mismanagement is a corrupt, nepotism riddled business model that went out well over 50 year ago in the private sector. bounus for losing billions of dollars…..you have to be kidding?
Congress should put PO into recievership and hire some retired Fortune 500 executives to do an audit on po mismanagement.
@jerking..so, so true–they forget about all the slugs that they work with on a daily basis—-nobody says anything when they get a raise for doing the bare minimum—no different than management!!
Craft get raises under the contract without performance consideration. I thought we all worked for the same company.
I see the Nazis running this site have deleted my comment.
Must be USPS mgmt.
Pay for performance? They should get no pay! When the P O was making millions they got all the credit and got FAT bonuses. If they got the credit then,now they should get all the shame!!!!
THANK GOD someone is smart. If you do little to no work and talk on the phone all day. You should be thankful you still have a JOB!!!!!
