Smithsonian Request
Posted
On: Jul 19, 2010 (22:06:48)
Message: To Whom It May Concern, I am an intern at the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum in Washington, DC, working under the curator, Nancy Pope. We are currently researching the role of extracurricular activities (sports teams and musical groups, as examples) in the postal worker community. The APWU headquarters suggested contacting individual branches to find more information about clubs, activities, teams, etc that your postal workers might be involved in. Would you have any information you would be willing to share? Or any members we could talk to about his/her individual activities? The main goal of this project is to pay tribute to the why and in what ways postal workers have created their own community with each other outside of their working hours. Thank you, Holly Wiencek Curatorial Intern 202-633-0022 Reply Email: wiencekh@si.edu |

Bargaining Priority
Posted
On: Jun 14, 2010 (22:10:08)
Mark, Lance and Local/State Presidents;
I have refined my resolution that I previously sent out for comment.
Attached is a PDF copy of my signed resolution that I will submit for the
Convention this week in Washington.
In addition is a Word document of the resolution that anyone that would also
like to submit it from their Local/State (Presidents or
Secretary-Treasurers) may add their name at the bottom and print it out.
Certainly I would appreciate as much support of other Locals/State on this
as possible.
I would appreciate this being placed on the NPC agenda for discussion as
well as being circulated to as many Local/State Presidents as possible
before the NPC in Colorado Springs.
To those that offered comments before, Thank You!
Thanks,
Bob

Leave No Man Behind
Posted

Leave No Man Behind Hi Gang - I have attached an article that I wrote which I just submitted to our Communications Dept for the next APWU News Magazine. I know I don't usually send out my articles to APWU local and state organizations to garner support for an issue but this is a really important issue that has not received the attention it deserves from our legislators and frankly their attention on the subject is long overdue. I have also sent the article to the AFL-CIO and the Union Veterans Council requesting that they support House Res 111 and I have asked that they forward the piece with my "Call-to-Action" to all of its National affiliates. If you would be so kind as to publish it in your communications, post it on Union Bulletin Boards in all postal facilities, post it on union websites, send it to everyone on your email distribution lists inclusive of other local and state labor organizations and share it with pro-veteran organizations (is there any group that isn't pro-veteran?) we may just be able to get our government to enforce the contract it made with ALL of our US Service members and their families. Rolling Thunder has been working hard on the initiative but understandably they are having trouble garnering support, more than likely because they supported the other team. But this issue isn't about a political affiliation, or being a red state or a blue state. This issue is about Americans who sacrificed their freedoms, and more than likely gave their lives for our freedoms. I figure if House Resolution 111 gets a big push from labor and friends of labor, it may just be the push our politicians need to be compelled to act. It's hard to ignore the voices of 15.3 million voting unionists. Susan M.

Finding Our Way ForwardBy Loren Adams, District 6 Vice-President (June 2010)Everyone realizes the storm is fast approaching, but many simply ignore the obvious – perhaps as a means of survival. I remember how Grandma Emma Adams used to herd us kids down to the storm cellar every time she heard the thunder roll Read More...
