Dear Friend,
I have major news.
Yesterday, after 15 years of fighting for much-needed and long-overdue reforms, we successfully secured passage of the Postal Service Reform Act in the House of Representatives.
This is an enormous achievement for our union and every supporter of the public Postal Service across this country, and brings us just one final step away from enshrining this historic bill into law.
As you know, the Postal Service Reform Act is critical to the future of the USPS and to the security of our jobs as postal workers. This bill will place the USPS on the path toward financial stability by repealing the onerous and financially debilitating pre-funding mandate, ensuring six-day delivery, providing for prospective Medicare integration, adding much-needed transparency to postal operations, and delivering other essential reforms – ultimately saving the post office billions of dollars each year.
Now, the bill goes before the United States Senate for debate, and we need your help to make sure it passes.
I want to speak to you about this personally, friend. |

I will be hosting a livestream along with APWU Legislative and Political Director Judy Beard next Tuesday, February 15 at 7:00 - 8:00PM EST to announce our new campaign to call on the Senate to pass the Postal Service Reform Act, and I need you to be a part of it.
There are big money interests who are already starting to lay the groundwork to kill this important bill, and if we want to make sure it passes, it’s going to take thousands of postal workers and our friends and allies applying pressure at just the right time.
We need to raise our collective voices to make sure the Senate moves quickly to pass the Postal Service Reform Act and send it to President Biden’s desk.
It’s taken years of effort to get this far, friend.
In solidarity, APWU President Mark Dimondstein |
