American Postal Workers Union

The American Postal Workers Union represents USPS employees and retirees, along with private-sector mail and logistics workers. It negotiates a national collective bargaining agreement and represents members in national-level grievances. Members belong to Clerk, Maintenance, Motor Vehicle Service, or Support Services divisions, with state and local unions and retiree chapters across the country. The union also advocates for members on Capitol Hill and campaigns for wages, benefits, and safe working conditions. Its member-run structure includes officers elected directly by union members. The national union is headquartered in Washington, DC, and its local and state affiliates are autonomous organizations. APWU is affiliated with the AFL-CIO and supports social and economic justice for working families.
