APWU Members Fired Up for National Day of Action, May 14

APWU members across the country are fired up for the National Day of Action on May 14, just one week before the Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire. 

More than 100 locals scheduled events at postal facilities in 85 cities across 33 states and Puerto Rico, organized around the theme, “I Stand with Postal Workers.”  Actions range from rallies to press conferences to getting postcards signed outside post offices.

 “We are asking locals to reach out to APWU members, our sister postal unions, and other allies to stand with us at post offices on May 14 as we demonstrate support for Good Postal Service! Good Jobs! Good Contract!” said APWU President Mark Dimondstein.

"The next day, we will begin the final push of intense negotiations – around the clock, if necessary – so it’s important that we have a strong showing," he added. "We can only win a good contract if APWU members and our families, friends and allies are actively engaged. So let’s build momentum!"
