Employee and Labor Relations Manual
Issue 18 June 2007
Transmittal Letter
A. Introduction
Our Strategic Transformation Plan enables the Postal Service™ to successfully
perform our long-standing mission of providing affordable, universal service. A
strategic and key Plan objective is to maintain a work environment that enables
our diverse and highly motivated workforce to:
1. Achieve and go beyond performance expectations.
2. Be recognized for individual and team performance achievements.
The Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM) is a critical tool for
understanding and implementing the programs and processes that contribute to
this goal.
B. Explanation
The ELM has been revised substantially since ELM 17 was published in
December 2002. The appendix and every chapter (except Chapter 2) have been
revised. For detailed information about the revisions, see the Summary of
Changes. Except for deletions, substantive changes are identified in the text by a
bar in the margin. ELM 18 includes changes published in online updates 17.1
through 17.16 and in Postal Bulletin articles through May 24, 2007.
C. Availability
1. Online. The online ELM is updated periodically with changes published in
