To all,

This message is coming late due to the many changes in my personal life, but also the many changes we all have seen going on in our country since the beginning of the year.

The downloadable document is for you to better understand where we are RIGHT NOW! Our jobs, our benefits, OUR FUTURE is on the line and YOU are being called upon to make sure we win this fight as APWU has in past fights.

New executive orders and other Congressional resolutions threatens the rights of hundreds of thousands of federal workers—including postal employees—by gutting collective bargaining protections. Learn how the APWU is fighting back, what’s at stake if USPS is privatized, and how YOU can take immediate action to protect workers’ rights and retirement. Call Congress at 844-896-5059 and demand support for the Protect America’s Workforce Act today.

MAKE A CALL: Restore Federal Bargaining Rights NOW!

On March 27, the Trump administration issued an executive order stripping collective bargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of federal workers across more than 30 agencies, marking one of its most aggressive anti-worker moves. In response, Representatives Jared Golden (D-Maine) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) introduced the bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act to overturn this order and restore workers’ rights. To defend these fundamental freedoms, we urge every American to call their member of Congress now at 844-896-5059 and demand support for this critical legislation.

Make a Call

Congress needs to hear from those who stand with working people by supporting the Protect America’s Workforce Act, a bill that safeguards the right to organize. With over 70% of Americans—and nearly 9 in 10 young people—supporting unions, it’s clear that no one voted to undermine workers’ freedom to fight for better wages and conditions. Every member of Congress, regardless of party, should take a stand for these fundamental rights. Call your representatives today and urge them to support this crucial legislation.

Take action today by calling Congress and urging your representative to support the Protect America’s Workforce Act—legislation that will overturn the president’s executive order attacking federal workers’ union rights. Dial 844-896-5059 to make your voice heard. It’s time to increase the pressure and stand up for workers’ rights. Every call makes a difference!

In solidarity

APWU Taking a Stand

The APWU is not standing idly by. We have launched a national mobilization effort to combat DeJoy’s destructive plans and to remind lawmakers that privatization—no matter how it is disguised—will not be tolerated.

On March 20th, is a National Day of Action to rally public support and put pressure on Congress to stand with postal workers and customers, not corporate interests. Local APWU chapters will be organizing demonstrations, outreach campaigns, and public education efforts to expose the real agenda behind DeJoy’s restructuring plans.
