About the Human Relations Department
There’s more to being a progressive union than achieving and enforcing a contract — and that’s where the Human Relations Department comes in. Our programs and benefits inspire members to participate in the union and give them a sense of inclusion, contribution, and ownership.

The work and goals of the Human Relations Department embody the principles of our APWU Constitution: “We believe all members of labor have the right to economic, political and social justice.”
Through our programs, we strive to equip all members in an equitable manner under the APWU Constitution’s guidance that all workers “are created equal with the right to determine their own destiny and to participate in the forces and events that affect them.”
