Pull the Rule! America Needs Vote-by-Mail

Postal workers are demanding that the Postal Board of Governors and the Postmaster General Pull the Rule that threatens to restrict voting-by-mail in future elections.
The USPS issued a rule to restrict mail-in ballots on August 26, 2026, following a Trump Administration Executive Order issued March 31, 2026.

While that rule was paused by injunctions for the 2026 midterm elections, the courts did not strike it down.

The USPS should not wait for the courts to rule when its leadership has the power to decide whether to go ahead with the rule or not. It can and should revoke the rule immediately.The rule would force states to provide the USPS and unspecified law enforcement agencies with lists of voters’ information. If states refuse to pass the information, would take away every voter’s ability to cast their ballot by mail.

The USPS can and should have refused the illegal executive order. Now they must rescind their rule.

Join President Smith as we discuss why this is so important, and bring you inside the Nov. 10 Board of Governors Open Meeting.

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.
