APWU Delegates Vow to Fight Privatization of Parcel Post

Delegates Vow to Fight Privatization of Parcel Post: "On the final day of the APWU 19th Biennial Convention, delegates adopted a resolution calling on the union’s national leadership to “lead and organize resistance to any/all attempts to privatize the parcel business.”
Resolution 161, Fight Privatization of Parcel Business, also encouraged union members to “urge our elected representatives to delay implementation of any provisions of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 that allow for the theft of our work and our jobs.” The law requires Congress to review the underpinnings of the Postal Service, including universal service, the mailbox monopoly, six-day delivery, and the postal network."
