Ratification ballot update<\/h2>\n

<\/small><\/div>\n

NALC – 7\/28\/17 – Today, the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC, denied the request of two NALC members for a preliminary injunction that would have deferred the counting of ballots on the proposed tentative 2016-2019 National Agreement between NALC and the U.S. Postal Service. Thomas Houff of Richmond, VA Branch 496 and David Noble of Washington, DC Branch 142 filed a lawsuit to cancel the ratification vote. The court\u2019s denial of their motion means that the counting of ballots will proceed as scheduled next week.<\/p>\n

Ballot committee members will arrive in Washington, DC, on July 30 to monitor and observe the receipt and tabulation of the ratification ballots.<\/p>\n

NALC members in good standing who wish to observe the tabulation of the ballots should check\u00a0nalc.org<\/a>\u00a0for details on the hours and the location where the receipt and tabulation will take place. Details will be made available soon.<\/p>\n
