Joint Contract Administration Manual (JCAM, 2022)

This jointly prepared USPS/NALC Joint Contract Administration Manual (JCAM) supercedes all previous editions. Publication of the JCAM was undertaken in good faith in order to educate the local parties and facilitate the resolution of disputes concerning issues on which the national parties are in agreement.

This Agreement (referred to as the 2019 National Agreement) is entered into by and between the United States Postal Service and the Union. The Agreement is effective as of September 20, 2019 unless otherwise provided.

National Agreement

NALC created this guide to help union representatives find that in-depth information and put it to work challenging discipline. It explains the key principles, contract language, national settlements and arbitration decisions that comprise our own “common law” of just cause and job security.

Defenses to Discipline

The Materials Reference System or MRS is a collection of contract administration materials assembled by the NALC Headquarters’ Contract Administration Unit. It has been designed to assist all NALC representatives who enforce and administer the National Agreement. The MRS should be used as a supplement to the Joint Contract Administration Manual (JCAM) which is authoritative and controlling in the case of any ambiguities or contradictions.
