Article 6 of the 2019-2022 National Agreement between the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and the United States Postal Service (USPS) outlines the conditions under which a letter carrier may be laid off or subjected to a reduction in force. This agreement ensures that certain letter carriers, such as those employed prior to September 15, 1978, are protected from layoff for their entire career. Non-protected employees, such as those hired after September 15, 1978, may be laid off unless they have worked for the USPS continuously for at least six years. The agreement further defines the procedures and protections for layoff, including the order of layoff, seniority unit, and the right of recall for laid-off employees. It also addresses the specific rights of preference-eligible veterans and clarifies the role of City Carrier Assistants in layoff procedures.
