Updated rural carrier salary charts including COLA increase on September 6th 2025

Cost-of-Living Raises Effective September 6, 2025

Pursuant to the release of the July 2025 Consumer Price Index – Urban Wage and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), and in accordance with Article 9.1.E , the third COLA adjustment of the 2024-2027 National Agreement will result in a $811.00 increase for eligible rural carriers. This COLA adjustment will be effective September 6, 2025, (PP 2025-20). All COLA adjustments are based on a 40-hour evaluation with proportional application to those route evaluations over 40 hours. The increase should appear in paychecks dated September 26, 2025.

NOTE: All leave replacement employees will receive an additional 1% salary adjustment annually in lieu of COLA adjustments.

    • Yes it should.

      It’s getting hard to not feel as if we know more about the contract the NRLCA negotiated than they do, or at the very minimum what whoever is handling their comms does.

    • And the NRLCA.
      Was hoping the new contract would catch us up to inflation like the UPS contract did.
      Not even in the same solar system!
