Becoming a Member of the NRLCA

Take control of your future by becoming a member of YOUR UNION!

Resources like this website will inform you on important issues that affect your wages, benefits and work environment. Understanding the contract, manuals and handbooks may seem overwhelming without the tools and resources to make sense of it all. Membership gives you access to:

• In person meetings where you can learn, network and build friendships that will help you advance in your career.
• Virtual meetings to help you stay on top of the constant changes in the USPS nationally and in your local Post Office, all from the comfort of your home.
• Publications like The Illinois Rural Carrier and The National Rural Letter Carrier where you can find in depth articles on benefits, legislative issues and contractual topics.
• Notifications right to your phone when important changes or information become available.
• A voice and a VOTE in everything from contract ratifications, elections, union procedures, and contractual bargaining issues.
• The Rural Carrier Benefit Plan as your FEHB insurance selection. No other plan in the FEHB offers a “built in cancer plan”, massage therapy benefits and more. As a non-profit union plan you get all this and more at great rates.
• The NRLCA insurance department has a full range of ale’ carte optional plans for career and non-career members.
• Active carriers who join receive all these benefits without any dues payments for the first three months. *
