By enforcing the APWU National Agreement and bargaining for fairer labor-management agreements, we continuously strive to raise work standards and improve quality of life. National's Vision Union Proud! Say it Loud! The APWU represents more than 200,000 USPS employees and retirees, and nearly 2,000 private-sector mail workers. For more than four decades, APWU has fought for dignity and respect on the job for the workers we represent, as well as for decent pay and benefits and safe working conditions. As an AFL-CIO affiliate, the APWU supports the struggle for social and economic justice for all working families. Depending on their occupation, APWU members belong to the Clerk, Maintenance, Motor Vehicle Service (MVS), or Support Services divisions. Local News Local and national news delivered to you, the members Union Power = Worker Power! Why Should We Organize in Our 2024 Build Union Power Campaign? Building a stronger and more active membership makes us powerful. Whether we are fighting for a good, fair new union contract in June, protecting our jobs during proposed consolidations as a result of the Postal Service’s network modernization, or defending our safety on the workroom or, working together in a union is what wins the day! Every year, as postal workers retire and new hires join our ranks, the privatizers and corporate giants hope our union will get weaker – that new hires will fail to join the union and pay their dues, until one-by-one, our union shrinks, and we are too weak to fight off their attacks. The outcome of this contract depends on our union’s power and leverage. We are the American Postal Workers Union! Since our first collective bargaining agreement in 1971, we have stood together time and time again to improve our wages, our benefits, and our rights in the workplace. With the opening of contract negotiations just months away this is an important time to build our strength. Between April 1 and June 25, we are calling on all active members to have conversations with every single coworker to make sure they’re signed up as a member. That will put us in the best possible position to enter into negotiations for a new contract with the full force of our worker power behind us. Commit to signing up at least one non-member during our "Building Union Power" National Organizing Drive, taking place April 1 - June 25! Read More The Union Keep Us Strong! A Message From President Mark Dimondstein While Wall Street, bankers, and the billionaire class pad their profits by investing in and manipulating the stock market, the best investment workers make is with each other through our union. The investment of our union dues and participation in the APWU is returned many times over in better pay, benefits, rights, safety, and job security. Yet, many of the union accomplishments won over generations of struggle, especially resulting from the victorious 1970 Great Postal Strike, are often taken for granted. As we head into national negotiations, engage in our “Building Union Power” organizing drive, and face down management’s “network modernization” plan, it’s a good time to reflect on what a huge difference the union makes. Some highlights: Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) and Wages: Career employees’ union-won pay includes regular raises, COLAs, step increases, night and Sunday differential, overtime pay after eight hours and double time after 10. We remain the only postal union with full COLA. Due to high inflation, the COLA alone in our current contract amounts to $5,325.00 annually for full-time employees, and $2.67 per hour for part-time flexible employees (PTFs). Talk about financial security! Incredible job security: Career employees with six years of service have “no lay-off” protection, a benefit few U.S. workers have. The 50-mile limit on excessing limits disruption to family life in situations where employees are moved due to changes in the network and mail mix. Protection against unjust discipline: Without unions, bosses can terminate employees “at will.” With “just cause” protection, discipline - including termination - can be challenged and overturned! Grievance Procedure: Employees have the right to file grievances on the clock to address contractual violations. That’s worker power! Seniority and Bidding: Seniority eliminates favoritism and discrimination in job assignments. Preferred off days, hours of work, and jobs are based on one’s years of service, not who the boss likes! Guaranteed Hours: Prior to 1970, employees were often placed into a “non-pay status” when waiting for more mail to work, often having to work 12-14 hours just to receive eight hours of pay. Now, full-time career employees are guaranteed eight within nine or 10 hours, depending on office size. In addition, full-time career employees are guaranteed eight hours a day, and 40 hours a week. PTF-guaranteed hours have improved! Paid Leave: Strong annual leave, sick leave, and paid holiday benefits. Many other workers have no paid sick leave. Health and Safety: Safety grievances are prioritized. Workers have the right to report unsafe work conditions using Form 1767s. Union-negotiated COVID safety provisions literally saved lives and enabled workers to take needed time off to protect themselves, co-workers, and families without repercussions. Non-career conversion to career: With the exception of four-hour POStPlan offices, Postal Support Employees (PSEs) receive automatic conversion-to-career after two years. Many are converted sooner due to negotiated provisions regarding the filling of residual vacancies. Legislative Engagement: Legislation, good or bad, has a big impact on the Postal Service. The APWU keeps members informed and engaged around important legislative matters. The 2022 Postal Service Reform Act is an important example. Your voice, your union: We are a democratic union. Local, state, and national officers are elected with one person, one vote. Any member can run for office. Regular union meetings enable workers to vote on issues. Locals and states send delegates to represent them at national conventions. Communications with the members: The APWU website, magazine, News Service Bulletins, mailings, social media, and podcasts keep members informed about the many challenges and opportunities facing postal, and all workers. When you hear a nonmember say, “the union doesn’t do anything for me,” shout the answer from the rooftops – “who are you kidding?!” No union is perfect, but together, union strong, we collectively build better workplaces, stronger families, and more vibrant communities! Be proud to be union! ■ Read More Pre-Convention Workshop! The Research & Education Department will sponsor 24 Pre-Convention Workshops on Friday, July 12, 2024, prior to the start of the craft conferences and national convention, at the Huntington Place Convention Center, Detroit, Michigan. All APWU members are welcome and must register online by the Monday, July 1, 2024 deadline. Participants are encouraged to register early, as classroom space is limited. Participants may sign up for workshops after arriving in Detroit but will have limited choices of workshops, as many will already be filled. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THESE PRE-CONVENTION WORKSHOPS ARE AT THE APWU MEMBERS OWN EXPENSE. IF ONE PLANS TO ATTEND THE NATIONAL CONVENTION, HE OR SHE MUST BE A DELICATE! A list of workshops and times can be found at the link below. Here are some highlighted workshops: Basic Shop Steward’s Training: Dealing with a Hostile Work Environment and Handling Postal “Monsters” : Fighting to Save Jobs Due to Closures and Consolidations: Labor Law Fundamentals: Leadership Development: Read More Solidarity is the Antidote To A Toxic Workplace The Chief Spokesperson for the 2024 contract negotiations acknowledges the significant responsibility of representing 200,000 postal employees and their families. The negotiations aim to address the toxic work environment pervasive in the Postal Service. While grievances can temporarily solve issues at individual facilities, the systemic nature of the problem requires more substantial efforts. Management at high levels has shown reluctance to address toxicity, which has been a longstanding issue. The spokesperson emphasizes that systemic change will only occur if leadership is pressured to act. Union members must unite to demand change through internal actions, public campaigns, and congressional pressure. Improved work environments are necessary to attract and retain employees. Solidarity among workers, standing against abuse, and supporting each other are crucial steps in demonstrating seriousness to the Postal Service. The spokesperson calls for collective action and solidarity to drive change. Read More A Newly Redesigned and Accessible Footer!

Our Committee COLA and You Rising inflation underscores the importance of our negotiated Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) within our union contract, made possible by the strength of our membership . COLAs are our best protection against inflation. Postal Workers are some of the few U.S. workers who receive COLA increases. Even in the postal world, we are the only postal union maintaining full COLA in our union contract. “Once again, union-won COLAs prove how invaluable our contractual rights are to postal workers and our families,” said APWU President Mark Dimondstein. “We will continue to fight to maintain full COLA provisions in our upcoming contract.” Please be aware that neither the local nor national APWU has any legal or moral obligation to assist those wanting to opt-out or want to be non-members. YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS! The COLA adjustments for career employees during the 2021-2024 contract cummlatively totaled $5325 every year! Though Postal Support Employees (PSEs) do not receive cost-of-living increases, they have received several additional increases beyond the general wage increases for all employees in the APWU bargaining unit under the 2021 contract. However, when PSEs convert to career, the COLA increases are also included in their base wages going forward. THAT'S A WIN! Demand An End to Short Staffing In the USPS The United States Postal Service is an essential part of the fabric of our community and our country. We depend on reliable postal services. Whether it’s important business, picking up a package, or checking in with family and friends, we need a post office that is open and fully staffed with the trained, dedicated postal workers we trust with our mail and packages. It is unacceptable to us when our post offices are unexpectedly closed, hours are shortened, and lines are long due to staffing shortages. We call on you to make every effort to keep our post office open at convenient and reasonable hours and properly staffed to provide the “prompt, reliable, and efficient” service we deserve under the law. Join the Fight Safety and Health The Industrial Relations Director is charged with responsibility for the health and safety of all divisions of the Union. Article 14 of the National Agreement requires management to provide a safe and healthy work environment for all employees covered by the agreement. To achieve this end, the contract provides for the establishment of joint safety and health committees at various levels throughout the Postal Service. HOW TO REPORT HAZARDS, UNSAFE CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES WITH PS FORM 1767 You can use PS Form 1767 is to be used to report hazards, unsafe conditions, work practice and, in the opinion of the APWU, hostile work environments. You can use this form to report anything that you think could jeopardize your health: Dirty conditions, pests, mold, disturbed or broken building materials (tiles, insulation, etc.) PS Form 1767 Stop Supervisors From Performing Bargaining Unit Clerk Work Supervisors are PROHIBITED from performing bargaining unit work at post offices with 100 or more bargaining unit employees, except: 1. In An Emergency (by acts of God). SHORT STAFFING DOES NOT QUALIFY AS AN EMERGENCY! 2. For the purpose of training or instructions of employees (Instructions limited to only on how to operate/perform a function and not of a direct order from a supervisor). 3. To ensure the proper operations of equipment . 4. To protect the safety of employees. 5. To protect the property of the USPS (Such as: Building and Equipment property). Technically, although it is for the exclusive use of the USPS, it is still, essentially, the property of the people or business. In offices with LESS THAN 100 bargaining unit employees, supervisors are PROHIBITED from performing bargaining unit work except as enumerated in Section 6.A.1 through 5 above or when the duties are included in the supervisor's position description (mail pickup and "managing the line" are considered clerk work). Please also follow the proper grievance process. Access Form APWU Members Party Oh, What A Party!

Earlier this spring, APWU National called on active and retiree members to submit slogan ideas for the upcoming 2024 contract negotiations. We asked members to submit ideas for slogans to represent our fight for a contract that strengthens wages, benefits, and rights for APWU-represented postal workers, and to ensure that our essential service is safely and adequately staffed for years to come. APWU members answered the call: APWU received more than 3,000 slogan ideas, which highlights the enthusiasm and support for our Contract Campaign on the workroom floor. The National Executive Board is proud to announce that the winning entry and choice for our 2024 Contract Campaign slogan is “Union Proud, Say It Loud!” The entry was submitted by Ronnie McGee, of the Atlanta Metro Area Local (GA). The second-place entry was “Unite, Organize, and Mobilize”, submitted by Emily Kim of the Mankato Area Local (MN). The third-place entry was “A Strong Union, A Strong Future” submitted by Edward Teets of the Boise Local (ID). These slogans will now be used in Contract Campaign materials and on union gear for members to show their support of our fight for a good new contract. We will announce when these Contract Campaign materials are online for purchase on the APWU store at apwustore.org . “Congratulations to our winners. The tremendous response to the contest shows our members’ enthusiasm for the upcoming contract negotiations,” said APWU President Mark Dimondstein. “We are proud of our members’ creativity and wit,” said APWU Secretary-Treasurer Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Powell. “The volume of responses shows that our members are ready to show their union spirit and solidarity when we begin negotiations on June 25.” Read More Meet Our Local Union's Committee Teams!

You can use this form to report anything that you think could jeopardize your health: Dirty conditions, pests, mold, disturbed or broken building materials (tiles, insulation, etc.) PS Form 1767 COLA and You Rising inflation underscores the importance of our negotiated Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) within our union contract, made possible by the strength of our membership . COLAs are our best protection against inflation. Postal Workers are some of the few U.S. workers who receive COLA increases. Even in the postal world, we are the only postal union maintaining full COLA in our union contract. “Once again, union-won COLAs prove how invaluable our contractual rights are to postal workers and our families,” said APWU President Mark Dimondstein. “We will continue to fight to maintain full COLA provisions in our upcoming contract.” Please be aware that neither the local nor national APWU has any legal or moral obligation to assist those wanting to opt-out or want to be non-members. YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS! The COLA adjustments for career employees during the 2021-2024 contract cummlatively totaled $5325 every year! Though Postal Support Employees (PSEs) do not receive cost-of-living increases, they have received several additional increases beyond the general wage increases for all employees in the APWU bargaining unit under the 2021 contract. However, when PSEs convert to career, the COLA increases are also included in their base wages going forward. THAT'S A WIN! Demand An End to Short Staffing In the USPS The United States Postal Service is an essential part of the fabric of our community and our country. We depend on reliable postal services. Whether it’s important business, picking up a package, or checking in with family and friends, we need a post office that is open and fully staffed with the trained, dedicated postal workers we trust with our mail and packages. It is unacceptable to us when our post offices are unexpectedly closed, hours are shortened, and lines are long due to staffing shortages. We call on you to make every effort to keep our post office open at convenient and reasonable hours and properly staffed to provide the “prompt, reliable, and efficient” service we deserve under the law. Join the Fight Stop Supervisors From Performing Bargaining Unit Clerk Work Supervisors are PROHIBITED from performing bargaining unit work at post offices with 100 or more bargaining unit employees, except: 1. In An Emergency (by acts of God). SHORT STAFFING DOES NOT QUALIFY AS AN EMERGENCY! 2. For the purpose of training or instructions of employees (Instructions limited to only on how to operate/perform a function and not of a direct order from a supervisor). 3. To ensure the proper operations of equipment . 4. To protect the safety of employees. 5. To protect the property of the USPS (Such as: Building and Equipment property). Technically, although it is for the exclusive use of the USPS, it is still, essentially, the property of the people or business. In offices with LESS THAN 100 bargaining unit employees, supervisors are PROHIBITED from performing bargaining unit work except as enumerated in Section 6.A.1 through 5 above or when the duties are included in the supervisor's position description (mail pickup and "managing the line" are considered clerk work). Please also follow the proper grievance process. Access Form Fountain Valley (FV) Annual Summer Fest! June 13-16, 2024 What is another good way to get together with members, family, and friends?

Newsroom: Local and National News: Quarterly meeting January 25, 2025 General Membership Meeting The next General Membership meeting will be held at the Union Hall on Saturday, January 25, at 4:00 P.M. Magazine June 10, 2024 2024 Contract Campaign Slogan Winner Announced! Earlier this spring, APWU National called on active and retiree members to submit slogan ideas for the upcoming 2024 contract negotiations. We asked members to submit ideas for slogans to represent our fight for a contract that strengthens wages, benefits, and rights for APWU-represented postal workers, and to ensure that our essential service is safely and adequately staffed for years to come. APWU members answered the call: APWU received more than 3,000 slogan ideas, which highlights the enthusiasm and support for our Contract Campaign on the workroom floor. The National Executive Board is proud to announce that the winning entry and choice for our 2024 Contract Campaign slogan is “Union Proud, Say It Loud!” The entry was submitted by Ronnie McGee, of the Atlanta Metro Area Local (GA). The second-place entry was “Unite, Organize, and Mobilize”, submitted by Emily Kim of the Mankato Area Local (MN). The third-place entry was “A Strong Union, A Strong Future” submitted by Edward Teets of the Boise Local (ID). These slogans will now be used in Contract Campaign materials and on union gear for members to show their support of our fight for a good new contract. We will announce when these Contract Campaign materials are online for purchase on the APWU store at apwustore.org . “Congratulations to our winners. The tremendous response to the contest shows our members’ enthusiasm for the upcoming contract negotiations,” said APWU President Mark Dimondstein. “We are proud of our members’ creativity and wit,” said APWU Secretary-Treasurer Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Powell. “The volume of responses shows that our members are ready to show their union spirit and solidarity when we begin negotiations on June 25.” Read More Magazine May 21, 2024 Solidarity Is The Antidote to a Toxic Workplace Charlie Cash: As the “Chief Spokesperson” for the 2024 contract negotiations, I have both a huge and humbling task. The outcome of negotiations, whether through a voluntary agreement or through a contract imposed upon us by an interest arbitration panel, will have a direct effect on 200,000 postal employees covered under the main agreement - and if we count our families, hundreds of thousands more. Rest assured that your APWU negotiators are up for the challenge. As I have worked on these negotiations and thought about priorities, one thing that comes to mind is, how do we deal with the toxic work environment that postal employees of every craft face each day? I will not attempt to convince you that I know all the answers. I do know this is not a simple subject. Can we fi le grievances regarding the issue? Yes. But will grievances fi x the problem? They might in the short term in a single facility, but many of these grievances go in the queue for arbitration scheduling. In the meantime, the toxic situation still exists. We have negotiated memorandums of understanding (MOUs) for setting up task forces and committees to attempt to address the issue at the national level. Unfortunately, what I have found is that management, at the highest levels, does not want to address the toxic work environment. It is my opinion that toxic work environments are a systemic problem within the Postal Service. This has been a problem for decades. The term “Going Postal” is offensive, but was born from Postal Service leadership’s acceptance—if not encouragement—of abusive and toxic leadership styles. Grievances alone will not fi x the problem or force management to deal with the abusers. The leadership must want to change it. We, as union members, must organize to put pressure on management at all levels to want to change the toxic environment. We can do this by utilizing internal worker action, public campaigns, congressional pressure, and public exposure of the abusers, to not only demand change but to make management want to change. But what is going to make them want to change? One thing I believe they are starting to see is that people do not want to come to work in these toxic and abusive environments. I believe they know that they need to improve the environment in order to make people want to come to work. Another thing that will help is being united and supporting one another on the workroom floor. What does this mean? To me it means we cannot say “it’s not my problem,” nor can we turn a blind eye when our coworkers are being abused. Everyone has the right to get involved and tell the abusers to stop. Everyone has the right to write a statement about what they saw. I have been told before, “Well, they are a bad worker so that is why management treats them that way. They will never treat me that way.” Guess what? More than likely, your day will come when the abuse is aimed at you. Whether it’s because you had a health issue or just got slower with age, one thing about the Postal Service is that the abusers are equal opportunity abusers. Wouldn’t you want someone to stand next to you and be your witness when you are abused? If the Postal Service sees employees united against abuse and toxicity, it might be the catalyst that makes them want to change. Standing together makes our grievances – and other efforts – better, and shows the Postal Service that we are serious. I am not saying this is the only solution—but it is an easy step to take in this battle. I end every article with the word Solidarity! This is one way we can practice it. ■ Read More Magazine May 21, 2024 You Have Power As A Postal Worker and As A Customer Debby Szeredy I am sharing information about how you can help save our public Postal Service by utilizing your power as an APWU member and customer. There is an attack on many public, government services in this country. It’s about corporate billionaires taking control and taking constitutional rights from the people so that they have no public services that provide prompt, reliable, secure, efficient, and affordable government services. When these services are degraded, these corporate billionaires use poor results as a case for privatization. Private-sector companies have no laws to provide prompt, affordable, secure services. I’m a Vote-by-Mail citizen and I’m very concerned. It’s difficult to provide First-Class services with consolidations and the degradation of public mail services. These attacks take away prompt, affordable, and secure services from our community, as well as living-wage USPS jobs. They affect the services that: connect you to your family members, no matter where they live; help small businesses thrive; receive medical prescriptions on time; provide mail ballots on time; if you run for office, send out political campaign materials on time; communication with legal services; apply for passports; send and receive money orders; provide overnight affordable express service for emergency needs. I could go on and on. The Postal Service provides a service for the poor. Ask Reverend Barber, the leader of the Poor People’s Campaign, how many people with minimum wage jobs have the need for public services, as well as those who live in rural areas, or on reservations. People need to connect with family in other countries or provide subsistence to family members overseas or in military service. We need to help save these services before it is too late. Postal revenues are made off the backs of the communities and the workers across this country. Postal workers are paid, thanks to our customers in every community. All communities deserve prompt, affordable, and secure services. What Power Do You Have? You can demand that your senators and House representatives do more than write letters. Request that they vote to place a moratorium on the USPS plan, stop the consolidation of 57 plants that would delay mail service, stop the removal of automation that provides prompt services to the public and takes away jobs. Stop changing plants into Sorting and Distribution Centers (SDCs), with more transportation costs, delayed services, and lost jobs in small post offices. Stop the optimization plan to keep your mail and packages delayed and sitting in post offices overnight. Stop the USPS from silencing the public’s voice after Board of Governors’ meetings, stop the USPS from attempting to eliminate the right to in-person public meetings and input when there is a plan to shut down a post office. The USPS needs to stop their tactics that sabotage the rights of the public to have ample opportunity to attend public meetings when there is a study on possible consolidations to remove mail, automation, and jobs from a community plant. It’s the people's Postal Service, and we have the right to ask questions, review studies, and make comments that affect the public services in our communities. Contact your local or state union, your coworkers, and your community members, and ask that they step up with you in this fight. The Postal Service is moving fast with no real transparency. We have to be faster to get a moratorium in place until the USPS plan has been thoroughly investigated on its effects to our communities. We can’t afford to lose our very important public Postal Service. ■ Read More Magazine May 20, 2024 Understanding the Travel and Expenses, and Other Important Policies, at the Local and State Levels Elizabeth Powell Since Travel and Expenses is a major category of union expenditures, the Department of Labor prefers a policy in writing that details how the local pays for and reimburses travel and business expenses. The purpose of the Travel and Expense policy is to protect the organization’s funds and ensure uniformity and accountability. Locals should have control of their travel expenses and it should be clear that only expenses required for union business will be reimbursed. Locals should also adopt a Lost Time/Leave Without Pay (LWOP) policy, and a Credit Card policy. The policies should be established by the executive board and presented to the membership. Travel and Expense Policy The travel and expense policy should include, but not be limited to, the following travel expenses: Expense Filing and Approval. Travel Arrangements. Air Travel (suggest the union pay with union credit card or by check). Lodging/Hotel (Suggest the union pay with union credit card or by check, room and tax only). Ground Transportation/Airport Shuttle. Per Diem (GSA rate or Reimbursement-fully receipted). In-Town Meetings and Assignments. Personal Car Usage/Mileage. Car Rental. Lost-Time Reimbursement. Lost Time/LWOP Policy Required documentation includes: Constitutional language or motion to compensate LWOP. Properly approved PS 3971/Time and Attendance Collection System (TACS) Report. Properly approved local/state pay voucher. Reimbursement for Lost Annual and Sick Leave (after accumulating 80 hrs. of Code 084 Union LWOP). Credit Card Policy Authorized users (recommend only president and treasurer). Limit the amount of expenses that can be charged without executive board approval. Original receipts for each transaction. To fulfill Labor Management Disclosure Act (LMRDA) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requirements, all authorized expenditures are required to be properly documented with an expense voucher, original receipts, approved PS 3917 for Lost Time/LWOP, and mileage log, when applicable. It is important to establish what will be reimbursed when properly documented and receipted, and what will be compensated at the GSA rate. The only advance payment should be a per diem check, if your local uses the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) plan. Local and state treasurers should visit gsa.gov to assist in determining the correct amount payable per diem by state and county. The GSA mileage rate for calendar year 2024 is 67 cents per mile. All expense vouchers should be submitted within 30 days of the expense being incurred. The Travel and Expense policy should not be in your local constitution. This will permit changes to the policy without the formal constitutional amendment process. The policy should, however, be referenced in the constitution. Article 16 Compliance! The Secretary-Treasurer’s Department will continue to verify that locals are in compliance with Article 16 of the National Constitution. APWU locals who fail to abide by the regulations may have their Dues Check- Off (DCO) dues withheld until they comply or provide an explanation for non-compliance. Locals are required to provide verifi cation that they have complied with DOL and IRS fi lings as well as the APWU Constitution by providing a copy of their DOL reports and IRS Forms 990 to the Secretary-Treasurer’s Department after they have been electronically submitted. Also maintaining suffi cient bonding coverage in addition to the $5,000 bond provided to all APWU locals by the national union is required. Lastly, provide the results of local elections and a copy of the current local or state Constitution and Bylaws to the Secretary-Treasurer’s Department. ■ Read More Magazine May 20, 2024 The Union Keeps Us Strong! A Message from President Mark Dimondstein While Wall Street, bankers, and the billionaire class pad their profits by investing in and manipulating the stock market, the best investment workers make is with each other through our union. The investment of our union dues and participation in the APWU is returned many times over in better pay, benefits, rights, safety, and job security. Yet, many of the union accomplishments won over generations of struggle, especially resulting from the victorious 1970 Great Postal Strike, are often taken for granted. As we head into national negotiations, engage in our “Building Union Power” organizing drive, and face down management’s “network modernization” plan, it’s a good time to reflect on what a huge difference the union makes. Some highlights: Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) and Wages: Career employees’ union-won pay includes regular raises, COLAs, step increases, night and Sunday differential, overtime pay after eight hours and double time after 10. We remain the only postal union with full COLA. Due to high inflation, the COLA alone in our current contract amounts to $5,325.00 annually for full-time employees, and $2.67 per hour for part-time flexible employees (PTFs). Talk about financial security! Incredible job security: Career employees with six years of service have “no lay-off” protection, a benefit few U.S. workers have. The 50-mile limit on excessing limits disruption to family life in situations where employees are moved due to changes in the network and mail mix. Protection against unjust discipline: Without unions, bosses can terminate employees “at will.” With “just cause” protection, discipline - including termination - can be challenged and overturned! Grievance Procedure: Employees have the right to fi le grievances on the clock to address contractual violations. That’s worker power! Seniority and Bidding: Seniority eliminates favoritism and discrimination in job assignments. Preferred off days, hours of work, and jobs are based on one’s years of service, not who the boss likes! Guaranteed Hours: Prior to 1970, employees were often placed into a “non-pay status” when waiting for more mail to work, often having to work 12-14 hours just to receive eight hours of pay. Now, full-time career employees are guaranteed eight within nine or 10 hours, depending on office size. In addition, full-time career employees are guaranteed eight hours a day, and 40 hours a week. PTF guaranteed hours have improved! Paid Leave: Strong annual leave, sick leave, and paid holiday benefits. Many other workers have no paid sick leave. Health and Safety: Safety grievances are prioritized. Workers have the right to report unsafe work conditions using Form 1767s. Union-negotiated COVID safety provisions literally saved lives and enabled workers to take needed time off to protect themselves, co-workers, and families without repercussions. Non-career conversion to career: With the exception of four-hour POStPlan offices, Postal Support Employees (PSEs) receive automatic conversion-to-career after two years. Many are converted sooner due to negotiated provisions regarding the filling of residual vacancies. Legislative Engagement: Legislation, good or bad, has a big impact on the Postal Service. The APWU keeps members informed and engaged around important legislative matters. The 2022 Postal Service Reform Act is an important example. Your voice, your union: We are a democratic union. Local, state, and national officers are elected with one person, one vote. Any member can run for office. Regular union meetings enable workers to vote on issues. Locals and states send delegates to represent them at national conventions. Communications with the members: The APWU website, magazine, News Service Bulletins, mailings, social media, and podcasts keep members informed about the many challenges and opportunities facing postal, and all workers. When you hear a nonmember say, “the union doesn’t do anything for me,” shout the answer from the rooftops – “who are you kidding?!” No union is perfect, but together, union strong, we collectively build better workplaces, stronger families, and more vibrant communities!

Whether we are fighting for a good, fair new union contract in June, protecting our jobs during proposed consolidations due to the Postal Service’s network modernization, or defending our safety in the workroom or, working together in a union is what wins the day! Every year, as postal workers retire and new hires join our ranks, the privatizers and corporate giants hope our union will get weaker – that new hires will fail to join the union and pay their dues, until one by one, our union shrinks, and we are too weak to fight off their attacks. The outcome of this contract depends on our union’s power and leverage. We are the American Postal Workers Union! With it being a new contract negotiation year, during the executive board meeting (E-Board), a motion and budget have been passed to allocate $20,000 for union member appreciation mainly for t-shirts in the year 2024. The e-board and general meeting opened up the motion and budget to also include other types of apparel such as beanies, ball caps, cycling hats, mugs, keychains, lanyards, and ID Holders. An e-board committee will come together to discuss the design and distribution of apparel. Fountain Valley (FV) Annual Summer Fest!

Happening Now! Solidarity is the Antidote To A Toxic Workplace The Chief Spokesperson for the 2024 contract negotiations acknowledges the significant responsibility of representing 200,000 postal employees and their families. The negotiations aim to address the toxic work environment pervasive in the Postal Service. While grievances can temporarily solve issues at individual facilities, the systemic nature of the problem requires more substantial efforts. Management at high levels has shown reluctance to address toxicity, which has been a longstanding issue. The spokesperson emphasizes that systemic change will only occur if leadership is pressured to act. Union members must unite to demand change through internal actions, public campaigns, and congressional pressure. Improved work environments are necessary to attract and retain employees. Solidarity among workers, standing against abuse, and supporting each other are crucial steps in demonstrating seriousness to the Postal Service. The spokesperson calls for collective action and solidarity to drive change. Read More The Union Keep Us Strong! A Message From President Mark Dimondstein While Wall Street, bankers, and the billionaire class pad their profits by investing in and manipulating the stock market, the best investment workers make is with each other through our union. The investment of our union dues and participation in the APWU is returned many times over in better pay, benefits, rights, safety, and job security. Yet, many of the union accomplishments won over generations of struggle, especially resulting from the victorious 1970 Great Postal Strike, are often taken for granted. As we head into national negotiations, engage in our “Building Union Power” organizing drive, and face down management’s “network modernization” plan, it’s a good time to reflect on what a huge difference the union makes. Some highlights: Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) and Wages: Career employees’ union-won pay includes regular raises, COLAs, step increases, night and Sunday differential, overtime pay after eight hours and double time after 10. We remain the only postal union with full COLA. Due to high inflation, the COLA alone in our current contract amounts to $5,325.00 annually for full-time employees, and $2.67 per hour for part-time flexible employees (PTFs). Talk about financial security! Incredible job security: Career employees with six years of service have “no lay-off” protection, a benefit few U.S. workers have. The 50-mile limit on excessing limits disruption to family life in situations where employees are moved due to changes in the network and mail mix. Protection against unjust discipline: Without unions, bosses can terminate employees “at will.” With “just cause” protection, discipline - including termination - can be challenged and overturned! Grievance Procedure: Employees have the right to file grievances on the clock to address contractual violations. That’s worker power! Seniority and Bidding: Seniority eliminates favoritism and discrimination in job assignments. Preferred off days, hours of work, and jobs are based on one’s years of service, not who the boss likes! Guaranteed Hours: Prior to 1970, employees were often placed into a “non-pay status” when waiting for more mail to work, often having to work 12-14 hours just to receive eight hours of pay. Now, full-time career employees are guaranteed eight within nine or 10 hours, depending on office size. In addition, full-time career employees are guaranteed eight hours a day, and 40 hours a week. PTF-guaranteed hours have improved! Paid Leave: Strong annual leave, sick leave, and paid holiday benefits. Many other workers have no paid sick leave. Health and Safety: Safety grievances are prioritized. Workers have the right to report unsafe work conditions using Form 1767s. Union-negotiated COVID safety provisions literally saved lives and enabled workers to take needed time off to protect themselves, co-workers, and families without repercussions. Non-career conversion to career: With the exception of four-hour POStPlan offices, Postal Support Employees (PSEs) receive automatic conversion-to-career after two years. Many are converted sooner due to negotiated provisions regarding the filling of residual vacancies. Legislative Engagement: Legislation, good or bad, has a big impact on the Postal Service. The APWU keeps members informed and engaged around important legislative matters. The 2022 Postal Service Reform Act is an important example. Your voice, your union: We are a democratic union. Local, state, and national officers are elected with one person, one vote. Any member can run for office. Regular union meetings enable workers to vote on issues. Locals and states send delegates to represent them at national conventions. Communications with the members: The APWU website, magazine, News Service Bulletins, mailings, social media, and podcasts keep members informed about the many challenges and opportunities facing postal, and all workers. When you hear a nonmember say, “the union doesn’t do anything for me,” shout the answer from the rooftops – “who are you kidding?!” No union is perfect, but together, union strong, we collectively build better workplaces, stronger families, and more vibrant communities! Be proud to be union! ■ Read More Pre-Convention Workshop! The Research & Education Department will sponsor 24 Pre-Convention Workshops on Friday, July 12, 2024, prior to the start of the craft conferences and national convention, at the Huntington Place Convention Center, Detroit, Michigan. All APWU members are welcome and must register online by the Monday, July 1, 2024 deadline. Participants are encouraged to register early, as classroom space is limited. Participants may sign up for workshops after arriving in Detroit but will have limited choices of workshops, as many will already be filled. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THESE PRE-CONVENTION WORKSHOPS ARE AT THE APWU MEMBERS OWN EXPENSE. IF ONE PLANS TO ATTEND THE NATIONAL CONVENTION, HE OR SHE MUST BE A DELICATE! A list of workshops and times can be found at the link below. Here are some highlighted workshops: Basic Shop Steward’s Training: Dealing with a Hostile Work Environment and Handling Postal “Monsters” : Fighting to Save Jobs Due to Closures and Consolidations: Labor Law Fundamentals: Leadership Development: Read More Safety and Health The Industrial Relations Director is charged with responsibility for the health and safety of all divisions of the Union. Article 14 of the National Agreement requires management to provide a safe and healthy work environment for all employees covered by the agreement. To achieve this end, the contract provides for the establishment of joint safety and health committees at various levels throughout the Postal Service. HOW TO REPORT HAZARDS, UNSAFE CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES WITH PS FORM 1767 You can use PS Form 1767 is to be used to report hazards, unsafe conditions, work practice and, in the opinion of the APWU, hostile work environments. You can use this form to report anything that you think could jeopardize your health: Dirty conditions, pests, mold, disturbed or broken building materials (tiles, insulation, etc.) PS Form 1767 COLA and You Rising inflation underscores the importance of our negotiated Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) within our union contract, made possible by the strength of our membership . COLAs are our best protection against inflation. Postal Workers are some of the few U.S. workers who receive COLA increases. Even in the postal world, we are the only postal union maintaining full COLA in our union contract. “Once again, union-won COLAs prove how invaluable our contractual rights are to postal workers and our families,” said APWU President Mark Dimondstein. “We will continue to fight to maintain full COLA provisions in our upcoming contract.” Please be aware that neither the local nor national APWU has any legal or moral obligation to assist those wanting to opt-out or want to be non-members. YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS! The COLA adjustments for career employees during the 2021-2024 contract cummlatively totaled $5325 every year! Though Postal Support Employees (PSEs) do not receive cost-of-living increases, they have received several additional increases beyond the general wage increases for all employees in the APWU bargaining unit under the 2021 contract. However, when PSEs convert to career, the COLA increases are also included in their base wages going forward. THAT'S A WIN! Demand An End to Short Staffing In the USPS The United States Postal Service is an essential part of the fabric of our community and our country. We depend on reliable postal services. Whether it’s important business, picking up a package, or checking in with family and friends, we need a post office that is open and fully staffed with the trained, dedicated postal workers we trust with our mail and packages. It is unacceptable to us when our post offices are unexpectedly closed, hours are shortened, and lines are long due to staffing shortages. We call on you to make every effort to keep our post office open at convenient and reasonable hours and properly staffed to provide the “prompt, reliable, and efficient” service we deserve under the law. Join the Fight Stop Supervisors From Performing Bargaining Unit Clerk Work Supervisors are PROHIBITED from performing bargaining unit work at post offices with 100 or more bargaining unit employees, except: 1. In An Emergency (by acts of God). SHORT STAFFING DOES NOT QUALIFY AS AN EMERGENCY! 2. For the purpose of training or instructions of employees (Instructions limited to only on how to operate/perform a function and not of a direct order from a supervisor). 3. To ensure the proper operations of equipment . 4. To protect the safety of employees. 5. To protect the property of the USPS (Such as: Building and Equipment property). Technically, although it is for the exclusive use of the USPS, it is still, essentially, the property of the people or business. In offices with LESS THAN 100 bargaining unit employees, supervisors are PROHIBITED from performing bargaining unit work except as enumerated in Section 6.A.1 through 5 above or when the duties are included in the supervisor's position description (mail pickup and "managing the line" are considered clerk work). Please also follow the proper grievance process. Access Form Absolutely Incredible! Introducing AI!
