On June 25, contract negotiations began for our next main collective bargaining agreement with the Postal Service. The current contract expires on Sept. 20. Both the union and postal management exchanged opening statements, outlining their respective goals for the next agreement, with each side expressing their desire to reach a negotiated agreement.

As of this past Thursday April 13, 2023, before I left for travel, LiteBlue was not fully functional. I am being told that all LiteBlue functions—to include health insurance transactions—are functional except access to eOPF (see earlier email I sent to the field) and direct deposit starts/changes. The direct deposit issue was supposed to be resolved on April 7, 2023, but it was not.
