In June, delegates and members of the APWU came together at the AFL-CIO convention in Minneapolis, along with dozens of other unions under one roof, to discuss how to fight for a world with better pay, better safety, and a better future for our workers all across America.

Postal workers continue our ad launch in UT this week! Read all about it in the Salt Lake Tribune: www.sltrib.com/news/politic...,
"This is not because Vote-by-Mail is unsafe. There is no evidence of fraud. The League of Women Voters calls this blatant voter suppression. When you make voting more difficult, when you add unnecessary steps, you inevitably decrease turnout." — Katharine Biele, President, LWV of Utah
"I worked 40 years for the Postal Service — hand-stamping ballots at the window, processing mail at night, sorting to carriers. Ballots are marked and run through our processes first. I know that mail is handled with priority." — Russell Franklin, President, APWU Salt Lake City Area Local 6
"I have family in the middle of Utah, in Fillmore and Meadow, who can't easily get to the polls. I have a disabled mother in Salt Lake City who depends on Vote-by-Mail. And as a postal worker processing that mail, I use it too." — Amy Parke, President, Utah State APWU
Last week in Nevada, and today in Salt Lake City, postal workers across the country are standing up to say: Vote-by-Mail: Keep it. Protect it. Expand it. @apwu.bsky.social launched our new TV ad statewide in Utah today, and announced results from a new national poll🧵
Today APWU honors Memorial Day and honor all those who lost their lives in service to our country.
"The public can rest assured and feel confident participating in all elections — because it's proven that Vote by Mail works." — Terrence Johnson, President, APWU Las Vegas Area Local 761
"Voting by mail is not just about accessibility. It's about ensuring every voice can be heard." — Tina Kusiak, President, Nevada Postal Workers Union
Today in Las Vegas, @apwu.bsky.social launched our "Vote by Mail: Keep it. Protect it. Expand it." TV ad — running in Nevada this week, followed by Utah and beyond. Here's what postal workers had to say. 🧵
