DECISION AND ORDER
Statement of the Cases
On July 10, 2018, the United States Postal Service (the Respondent); American
Postal Workers Union, Local 380, AFL-CIO; American Postal Workers Union, New
Mexico State APWU, AFL-CIO; and the General Counsel of the National Labor
Relations Board entered into a Formal Settlement Stipulation, subject to the Board’s
approval, providing for the entry of a consent order by the Board and a consent
judgment by any appropriate United States Court of Appeals. The parties waived all
further and other proceedings before the Board to which they may be entitled under the
National Labor Relations Act and the Board’s Rules and Regulations, and the
Respondent waived its right to contest the entry of a consent judgment or to receive
further notice of the application therefor.
The National Labor Relations Board has delegated its authority in this proceeding
to a three-member panel.1
The Formal Settlement Stipulation is approved and made a part of the record,
and the proceeding is transferred to and continued before the Board in Washington,
D.C., for the entry of a Decision and Order pursuant to the provisions of the Formal
Settlement Stipulation.2
Based on the Formal Settlement Stipulation and the entire record, the Board
makes the following
Findings of Fact
1. The Respondent’s business
(a) The United States Postal Service (the Respondent) provides postal services
for the United States and operates various facilities throughout the United States in the
performance of that function, including its facility located at 1010 Industrial Park Road,
Espanola, New Mexico (the Espanola facility), its facility located in Rio Rancho, New

1 Chairman Ring is recused and took no part in the consideration of this case.
2 We note that the remedy to which the parties have agreed differs in some respects
from previous broad orders that the Board has issued against the Respondent in cases
alleging that the Respondent has violated Sec. 8(a)(5) of the Act by failing and refusing
to provide relevant information. See, e.g., United States Postal Service, 345 NLRB 426
(2005), enfd. 486 F.3d 683 (10th Cir. 2007); United States Postal Service, 28-CA-
017383 et al., unpublished order issued November 4, 2002, enfd. Case 02-9587 (10th
Cir. 2003). These broad orders, as enforced by the United States Court of Appeals,
remain in effect, and the Board’s approval of this stipulation does not modify these
orders in any respect.
