HR 1560 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Postal Supervisors and Managers Fairness Act of 2025
To amend title 39, United States Code, to modify procedures for negotiating pay and benefits of supervisory and other managerial personnel of the United States Postal Service, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends federal law to modify how the United States Postal Service negotiates pay and benefits with supervisory and managerial personnel. It requires the Postal Service to provide written proposals to the supervisors' organization at least 60 days before a pay decision expires or within 60 days after any collective bargaining agreement affecting supervisor pay is reached. The bill directs the Postal Service and supervisors' organization to work to resolve disputes through existing procedures. For disputes that cannot be resolved, the bill creates a binding determination process where a panel must issue a final, binding decision on pay policies, schedules, and fringe benefits within 15 days after considering input from both parties, replacing the previous non-binding recommendation process.
