Union Members Say It With Stickers
March 27, 2015
stickers in solidarity.
From East to West and North to South, APWU members took a message to postal management and to postal customers on March 26. Our demands: Good Postal Service! Good Jobs! Good Contract!
As the seventh week of negotiations drew to a close, postal employees wore stickers at work bearing the message as a sign of solidarity.
APWU members also distributed flyers outside post offices that told postal patrons, “Our goal is to win a labor agreement that protects stable jobs and guarantees Americans their constitutional right to have good postal services, regardless of who they are, where they live, or how much money they have.
“Dismantling the nation’s postal system doesn’t only harm post workers; it robs the people of speedy delivery of their medicine, their online purchases, local newspapers, bill payments, letter and invitations,” the flyer said.
The APWU is fighting to stop the closure of post offices and reductions in service, union members told customers. In fact, the union seeks to expand post office hours and services, including postal banking, the flyers pointed out.
Two members of the 480-481 Area Local Retiree Chapter spoke to a gathering of more than 100 retired members of the United Auto Workers in Taylor, MI. Paul Felton and Jeri Krueger discussed the APWU contract campaign, answered questions, and were very well received, Felton reports.
