| APWU Board Endorses Kerry | ||
|
The APWU National Executive Board voted unanimously at its May meeting to endorse Sen. John F. Kerry in the November presidential election. “Of course, APWU members are free to follow their conscience on this matter,” said union President William Burrus. “But I believe this election will be a referendum on the Bush Administration, which has been a disaster for the middle class and for working people.”
Delegates to the APWU National Convention will have an opportunity to vote on the endorsement at the union’s biennial meeting in August.  Presidential Candidate John F. Kerry talks to Veterans at a Town Hall Meeting at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, WI. recently. Kerry, a Veteran himself, listened to the concerns of our area "Vets".

| Requests for APWU Members’ Involvement in Postal Reform | ||
|
Burrus Update #10-2004 June 18, 2004 Requests for APWU Members’ Involvement in Postal Reform As postal reform enters the final stages of the legislative process, the respective entities within the postal community – including labor unions, management associations, and postal management – have developed strategies for transmitting messages of support or opposition to members of Congress. I advise APWU members to refrain from participating in postal reform programs or campaigns organized by other organizations. At this time, the House and Senate committees have voted in favor of postal reform legislation and will be reporting bills to the full House and Senate in late June or July. Discussions are transpiring on issues of interest to mailers, the Postal Service, postal unions, and management associations. Each of these entities has special interests that may or may not be consistent with the interests of the APWU. Where our interests are the same or similar, the union’s national Legislative Department will transmit the APWU position, while reserving the opportunity to advance a different agenda. As we proceed, APWU members will be called upon as necessary to join in a collective APWU effort to advance reform that protects workers and service to the American public.
