The American Postal Workers Union was named 2017’s “Most Valuable Union” by the publication The Nation, as part of its annual Progressive Honor Roll. 

“If you want to see solidarity in action, consider the re- sponse of the union that represents more than 200,000 U.S. Postal Service employees and retirees to last summer’s Nazi violence in Charlottesville, Virginia,”  Nation reporter John Nichols wrote. “APWU President Mark Dimondstein explained to his members that rallying ‘for equality and against the hate-mongers’ is essential union work.”
