APWU has launched a new video as a part of our work to save the public Postal Service.
The video tells the story of the hard-working postal employees who are doing the job on the front line of this pandemic because we know our work is essential.
Watch the video. Join us in calling on Congress to save the Postal Service.
This page is a resource for members to find information on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Your union officers are holding ongoing conversations with the Postal Service about COVID-19. We will continue to be in discussions with the Postal Service as the spread of the disease widens around the world and new information is learned.
The APWU always prioritizes health and safety and is engaged on this issue. We are not allowing the Postal Service to take a passive approach to the risks of the disease.
The Mass Poor People’s Assembly & Moral March on Washington is going digital! On June 20th, we will hold the largest digital and social media gathering of poor and low-wealth people, moral and religious leaders, advocates, and people of conscience in this nation’s history. A global pandemic is exposing even more the already existing crisis of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy and militarism, and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism. On June 20, the 140 million poor and low-income people across this nation will be heard!
“When we all get together – labor and civil rights - when we all get together,” honorary APWU member and Poor People's Co-chair Rev. William Barber said to the 2014 Convention Delegates, “What a day! What a day! What a day it will be!”
That day will be on Saturday, June 20th at 10 AM EST and 6 PM EST. It will be rebroadcast on Sunday.
On May 13, President Dimondstein, Industrial Relations Director Zimmerman and Legislative & Politcal Director Judy Beard held a livestream event.
Our CATs were born as Contract Action Teams in 2015.
They were a hugely successful part of our Fighting Today for A Better Tomorrow Contract Campaign. Building on the activism of Contract Action Teams, CATs have changed their names to: Collective Action Teams.
Now in addition to contract campaigns, CATS will educate, agitate, organize, and mobilize members and allies to build a culture of collective action and help members become a stronger part of all of the union’s campaigns.

We are looking to our elected representatives in Washington to support our public Postal Service. The Coronavirus shutdown is plummeting postal revenues while increasing costs. Our public Postal Service needs all of our leaders - Democrats and Republicans alike - to provide urgent and ongoing financial support from the Federal Government during this public health and economic crisis.
