❄️ Level 3 Weather Alert – Safety Guidance for Employees

When a Level 3 Weather Emergency is declared by local authorities, travel is restricted to emergency services only.

Under Article 14 of the APWU–USPS Collective Bargaining Agreement (Safety and Health) and applicable ELM safety provisions (ELM 814/815), employees are not required to place themselves in unsafe conditions or violate official safety directives in order to report to work.

If reporting would require you to travel through a Level 3 area, and you notify management that your absence is based on official travel restrictions and safety concerns, that decision aligns with established safety standards, not attendance misconduct.

Employees should notify management as soon as possible and clearly reference the Level 3 alert and safety risk. For questions or concerns, contact your steward or local union leadership. Below are a few of the counties that have been placed under Level 3 advisory.

Your safety comes first. If you have other counties that have went under a level 3, post the image from the counties sheriff's office page.
