APWU Live: Do the Midterms Put Your Job at Risk?

For postal workers, a lot is at stake in the 2026 midterm elections. On October 20, APWU is hosting a livestream to inform members about how the candidates running for could affect our jobs, our rights, and the public Postal Service. APWU President Jonathan Smith will be joined by Legislative & Political Director Judy Beard and the National League of Women Voters to help postal workers understand how who gets elected affects what happens at work.

When the Postal Service faces a major threat, elected officials can be important allies. Elected Congressional officials vote on legislation, serve on committees, and help determine who serves on the Postal Board of Governors – decisions that can shape the future of the Postal Service, including its funding, governance, and its role as a public institution.

The APWU Difference

Who We Are

More than 200,000 postal, mail and logistics workers and retirees, in both the public and private sectors, united in one democratic, member-run union. We represent USPS crafts including Clerk, Maintenance, Motor Vehicle Service and Support Services, along with private-sector mail transport and logistics workers.

Our History

We fight for living wages, secure benefits and safe workplaces, and we defend the public Postal Service that binds every community, rural and urban, together. Our bargaining, legislative and community campaigns put people before profit, resist privatization and advance social and economic justice for all working families.

Join Us

The rights and benefits we enjoy today are because others stood together.

Together we have: raises we can count on each year, cost-of-living adjustments to keep our pay up with inflation, safer workplaces, and a real voice on the job. Whether you work for USPS or in a private mail or logistics shop, APWU membership gives you a voice and a union family that stands together.
