With the opening of contract negotiations just months away, APWU national officers are calling on actively employed, auxiliary and retiree members to submit slogan ideas for the 2024 Contract Campaign. From start to finish, our campaign for a strong, fair, new union contract will be driven by you, the APWU members. Since our first collective bargaining agreement in 1971, we have stood together time and time again to strengthen our wages, our benefits, and our rights in the workplace. Now it’s time to renew our commitment. Lend your voice to the campaign by creating a slogan for our upcoming contract negotiations as we fight for good wages, strong benefits, and workplace protections that ensure our essential service is safely and adequately staffed for years to come. Remember to keep the suggestions focused and short – it will need to fit on T–shirts, buttons, and stickers. The winner will be featured online and in The American Postal Worker magazine.

As part of a $40 billion investment strategy to upgrade and improve the Postal processing, transportation, and delivery networks, the U.S. Postal Service announced that it is conducting an evaluation of current operations and potential future uses of certain mail processing facilities. Public input will be considered as part of the review and every facility under review will have a public meeting. We encourage local unions to attend these meetings and organize community members to join us as well. Together we can make a public Post Office that serves every community!
