MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

BETWEEN THE

UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE

AND THE

AMERICAN POSTAL WORKERS UNION,

AFL-CIO

Re: Use of Privately Owned Vehicles

The parties agree that the following represents the policy of

the U.S. Postal Service and the American Postal Workers

Union concerning the furnishing of privately owned vehicles

(POV) by employees of the crafts represented by the APWU:

No craft employee represented by the APWU may be

coerced into furnishing a vehicle or carrying passengers

without the employee’s consent. The use of a personal

vehicle is the decision of the employee and it is not the intent

of the parties to discourage such use of personal vehicles

when transportation is needed from one postal facility to

another or in the completion of the employee’s assignment.

When an employee begins his/her work day at one postal unit

and is provided transportation to another unit to complete

his/her tour of duty, that employee will be provided

transportation back to the unit where his/her tour began if

transportation is needed. If the employee ends tour at the new

location the return trip will not be on the clock but

transportation will be provided promptly by management

upon request.

Date July 21, 1987

(The preceding Memorandum of Understanding, Use of

Privately Owned Vehicles, applies to Transitional

Employees.)
