Starting Strong, Looking Ahead
(This article first appeared in the January/February 2020 issue of the American Postal Worker magazine)
Happy New Year! It was a great way to end last year when 250 non-supervisory postal workers at the Human Resource Shared Services Center in NC overwhelmingly voted to join the APWU. Welcome to our union family!
Challenging and exciting times lie ahead for postal workers and our union. Some highlights:
We soon expect the “Interest Arbitration” Award setting the terms of the new union contract covering 194,000 workers. We cannot predict the outcome. Yet, based on our strong and well-prepared case, terrific witnesses and the rank & file contract campaign, I am cautiously optimistic that the award will include retroactive pay raises and COLAs and that we will prevail in our collective quest for a good contract. Important local negotiations will follow the issuing of the Award.
