(03/28/07) Note: Because of an editing error, the “2006 COPA Campaign” report in the March/April edition 2007 of The American Postal Worker provided the wrong “Top 10” listings for top per capita COPA contributors among APWU locals with “20-39 members" (page 32) and with “19 or fewer members” (page 33). A corrected version of the article is now available by clicking on the link above.

ABOUT COPA

APWU COPA, the union’s Committee on Political Action, was created to raise voluntary political campaign contributions from our union’s active, retired and Auxiliary members to support the campaigns of candidates for public office.

Campaign contributions from members of organizations who give through a fund such as a political action committee often have a major influence on congressional elections, thereby influencing votes on many important issues.

The APWU must have a strong voice in political affairs, and we must support the elected officials who advance our interests and help defeat those who oppose them. If we sit on the sidelines, organizations that oppose our goals will go unchecked.

Simply put, our union has too much at stake to turn a blind eye.
