The American Postal Workers Union represents over 220,000 postal workers in the Clerk, Maintenance, Motor Vehicle Service & Support Service crafts at the USPS.
APWU's 28th Biennial National Convention concluded on Day 4, and delegates completed business with a renewed sense of the union's top priorities: Honoring Our Past & Fighting for Our Future
Our democracy depends on working people being able to make their voices heard and @APWUnational members are the backbone of making vote-by-mail work. From protecting our right to vote to organizing thousands of new members, APWU knows what it means to deliver for working people.
The fourth and final day of the 28th Biennial National Convention is underway! Delegates are united and resolute in resolving the remainder of business before the delegation.

President Smith's highest priority since entering office has been safety on the job.
"No employee should fear coming to work because management ignores safety. No family should wonder whether their loved one will return home after their shift.
Our union will continue to demand accountability, enforce our contractual rights, and ensure that every workplace is safer than it was yesterday."
"I have never seen anybody change anything sitting on the couch.
There are powerful people in this country who want to see the Postal Service fail. There are powerful people who want to see the APWU disappear. We cannot afford to sit back and hope for the best."
