Why It Matters
The struggle of postal workers for decent wages, benefits and working conditions, as well as for dignity and respect on the job, closely parallels the struggles faced by working families everywhere. As we know too well, every decision in Congress shapes the future of postal workers and all working people.
As union members, it is our responsibility to hold elected officials accountable. When we know where they stand, we can take action—whether that means thanking them for standing with us or organizing to make sure they hear our voices loud and clear.
We encourage every APWU member to learn about the many important issues facing our nation and to vote in every local, state and national election.
Building Power Through Relationships
Votes don’t happen in a vacuum. Members of Congress pay attention when they hear from us directly—in meetings, at town halls, and through coordinated union action. By forming strong relationships with our representatives, postal workers can push our priorities to the top of the agenda. When lawmakers understand that supporting postal workers means supporting the communities they serve, we can move them to do what working people need.
Stand In Solidarity!
The APWU stands united with its brothers and sisters in the labor movement for good jobs, healthcare, retirement security, and education for all Americans. That’s why it’s important to stand in solidarity with our union siblings by participating in the AFL-CIO’s efforts to engage, educate, and mobilize union members in local, state, and national elections.
