San Jose Celebrates Mexican Independence Day in a Big Way


The San Jose Area Local went big, collecting over one thousand signatures
at the celebration of Mexico’s fight for independence from Spain.

Members of the San Jose Area Local went big – collecting over 1,000 signatures on postcards declaring, “I Stand with Postal Workers.” at the area’s Mexican Independence Day celebration on Sept. 13.

The local was able to secure a booth at the day-long event, where union members talked with attendees about APWU’s fight for a good contract and good service, along with the Staples boycott, the fabricated USPS financial crisis, the threat of privatization and more.
