COMMITTEE ON
THE FUTURE
The NPMHU’s Committee on the Future was established to engage in long-term strategic planning on issues that are confronting the Union over the coming months and years. The Committee most recently met in March 2026 to discuss several important issues facing Mail Handlers today and into the future.
The Committee focused on several key issues facing the NPMHU: extended Contract Negotiations for the 2025 National Agreement; USPS financial situation; USPS network redesign; Political and Legislative issues; USPS automation and other technological changes; National Union finances; NPMHU 2028 National Convention; the status of national level grievances, and protecting our Mail Handler jobs with jurisdictional national level (RI399) grievances.
Nina Gallauresi, Executive Director MHBP reviewed and discussed the successes of MHBP with increased enrollment, negotiation, and preservation of health benefits during collective bargaining. The Committee also reviewed MHBP in context of the overall Federal Employee Health Benefit (FEHB) and Postal Service Health Benefit (PSHB) programs, discussing the impact of membership growth and insurance industry trends on future pricing and marketing goals for the plan.
