Win Respect for Postal Workers


Postal workers are essential workers who keep our mail moving. Whether it’s a birthday card or life-saving medications, we move millions of pieces of mail from one end of the country to another. Often unseen, we are proud of our work to bind the country together.
We deserve a job where we can show up, safely do our work, and clock out knowing that we’ve contributed to the postal mission. But a vicious cycle of short staffing and a toxic work culture hurts postal workers and our communities.
The culture of bullying and toxicity from managers has created a hostile work environment that makes workers’ lives miserable, hurts everyone’s morale, and, too often, forces dedicated workers out of the service.

We are saying “Enough is enough!” and taking action together to demand Dignity and Respect from postal management. It’s time to end the short-staffing crisis, stop management’s toxic practices, and keep delivering a strong public Postal Service.
On April 28, Workers Memorial Day, APWU members kicked off a nationwide campaign to demand dignity & respect in the workplace. Your local actions were shared across media outlets throughout the country. While we’ve made an impact, the struggle for justice continues; we still have a lot of work to do to hold postal management accountable to address short-staffing and hostile work environments. Be inspired to get involved:
