About Us

Together we move forward

The APWU represents more than 200,000 USPS employees and retirees, and nearly 2,000 private-sector mail workers.

For more than four decades, APWU has fought for dignity and respect on the job for the workers we represent, as well as for decent pay and benefits and safe working conditions. As an AFL-CIO affiliate, the APWU supports the struggle for social and economic justice for all working families.

Depending on their occupation, APWU members in the Local 390 belong to the Clerk, Maintenance, or Motor Vehicle Service (MVS).

Our union is a democratic organization comprised of dues-paying members who belong to more than 900 state and local unions and retiree chapters in every state and territory. APWU officers are directly elected by union members.

The union's state and local affiliates are autonomous organizations that rely on the national union to represent their interests in contract negotiations and in national-level grievances. The union negotiates a national Collective Bargaining Agreement and fights for our members' interests on Capitol Hill. The APWU also has many Retiree and Auxiliary chapters so that former postal workers and postal families can remain active in union affairs.

Local Interest - Albany Postal Dog

Owney, the dog in the photo, is featured in the center of the top image on the inner pages of this website. Owney belonged to a postal clerk from Albany, NY and started becoming a regular visitor to the post office in 1888. Initially he road on the Railway Post Office train throughout the state of NY. Later he travelled on trains around the country and then made an around-the-world trip on both trains and steamships.

Mail clerks adopted him as their unofficial mascot. Each time Owney returned to Albany, he'd have a new medal or tag on his harness to show where he'd been. You can read more about him on the National Postal Museum website. (Image courtesy of National Postal Museum website)
