H.R. 1560 – Postal Supervisors and Managers Fairness Act of 2025

AI-Generated Summary

Updated November 24, 2025 at 2:28 AM UTC

The Postal Supervisors and Managers Fairness Act of 2025 changes how the United States Postal Service negotiates pay and benefits for its supervisory and managerial staff. It sets specific deadlines for the Postal Service to propose changes to the supervisors' organization before existing pay decisions expire or after a new collective bargaining agreement is reached. It also tightens the dispute‑resolution process by requiring a final, binding decision from the panel within 15 days.

Key Provisions

Requires the Postal Service to give the supervisors' organization a written proposal for any changes to pay policies, schedules, or fringe‑benefit programs at least 60 days before a scheduled pay decision expires.
If a new collective bargaining agreement that affects supervisor or manager pay is reached, the Postal Service must send a written proposal on related pay and benefit changes to the supervisors' organization within 60 days of that agreement.
Both the Postal Service and the supervisors' organization must work to resolve any disagreements over those proposals using the existing dispute‑resolution procedures.
Amends the dispute‑resolution timeline so that, after a panel reviews input, it must issue a final, binding determination on pay policies and benefits within 15 days.
