Congratulations on achieving career status with the United States Postal Service. As a career member of the American Postal Workers Union, you inherit the fruits of over 50 years of struggle and collective action. Every gain we enjoy—COLA raises, health insurance contributions, no-layoff protections—was won by standing together, not handed to us by management.
