What is this Organizing Drive?
Every year, as postal workers retire and new hires join our ranks, the privatizers and corporate giants hope our union will get weaker – that new hires will forget to join the union and pay their dues, and that we will all be weaker as a result. They count on us not talking to our coworkers about our union – they hope we will all say, “I’m too busy today, someone else will make sure the new person signs up” until one-by-one our union shrinks, and we are too weak to fight off their attacks.
But we aren’t going to let that happen!
Instead of assuming that someone else is signing up our coworkers to join our union, we are going to have conversations with every single coworker at our post office to make sure they’re signed up as a member.
Between May 1st and July 1st, we will all be working together to achieve an ambitious and important goal: to sign up 5,000 new APWU members at post offices across the country.
This is an ambitious goal, but if everyone reading this signs up just one person at their post office to become an APWU member, we would meet our goal in less than a day!
If we work together, we can keep our union strong, and protect our families and our livelihoods for years to come.
Please Contact your local Steward to help sign up a new member!
