2024 Contract Campaign Slogan Competition
With the opening of contract negotiations just months away, APWU national officers are calling on actively employed, auxiliary and retiree members to submit slogan ideas for the 2024 Contract Campaign. From start to finish, our campaign for a strong, fair, new union contract will be driven by you, the APWU members. Since our first collective bargaining agreement in 1971, we have stood together time and time again to strengthen our wages, our benefits, and our rights in the workplace. Now it’s time to renew our commitment. Lend your voice to the campaign by creating a slogan for our upcoming contract negotiations as we fight for good wages, strong benefits, and workplace protections that ensure our essential service is safely and adequately staffed for years to come. Remember to keep the suggestions focused and short – it will need to fit on T–shirts, buttons, and stickers. The winner will be featured online and in The American Postal Worker magazine.
