Resolution of the National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) Arbitration Compliance Case
From the national NALC website:
The National Association of Letter Carriers and the Postal Service have reached resolution on a national-level grievance filed by NALC regarding compliance with the June 30, 2025, national-level arbitration decision (the “NACI Award) issued by Arbitrator Margo Newman in USPS Case No. 6X 21C-6X-C-24165358, C-37276. Arbitrator Newman’s national ruling on the National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) Arbitration held that non-probationary postal employees separated due to unfavorable background check results are entitled to due process and may challenge their removals through the grievance and arbitration procedure.
NALC filed the national-level grievance, case number 6X 23N-6X-C 25507021, claiming the Postal Service failed to abide by the NACI Award by not processing pending grievances pertaining to the matter. In the settlement (M-02015), the parties agree that all pending grievances related to the NACI Award will be processed in accordance with Article 15 of the National Agreement, including the scheduling for arbitration, if necessary. Accordingly, the parties consider the issues raised in case number 6X 23N-6X-C 25507021 to be moot and agree to close this case without prejudice to the position of either party in this or any other matter.
