The USPS is a vital public service that serves every single community. Wells Fargo created a report outlining how they could break it up and sell it off - that would destroy jobs, raise prices, and gut service. Postal workers and the public are fighting back — and we won’t be sold out.
The Proclamation Campaign is gaining steam! Greater Oregon A/L Treasurer Linda O’Donnell and the Auxiliary worked together to secure a proclamation in La Pine, OR - a rural community that depends on the Universal Service Obligation to deliver the mail every day! Read more: apwu.org/news/oregon-...

Starbucks workers brew our coffee, not the billionaires. When they strike for fairness, we show up with solidarity. We’re calling on everyone to hold the line and not shop at Starbucks while baristas are on strike. #NoContractNoCoffee seiu.co/NoStarbucks

Starbucks baristas have done everything right — organized, bargained, and stood together. But the CEO still refuses to offer a fair contract or end union busting. If baristas go on ULP strike, our response is simply DON’T BUY STARBUCKS. #NoContractNoCoffee
