In this episode of Communicating with You, the Member, APWU President Mark Dimondstein and Industrial Relations Director Charlie Cash break down what every postal worker needs to know about our new contract—COLAs, general wage increases, retroactive pay, and long-overdue improvements like night differential changes and PSE step upgrades. Recorded just before Labor Day, Pres. Dimondstein reminds us that this holiday isn’t just about picnics and parades—it’s about resistance and struggle in the face of attacks on workers, unions, and democracy itself.

Together, we celebrate hard-won gains at the bargaining table, rally around the 250th anniversary of the public Postal Service, and call on every member to get involved in organizing, defending vote-by-mail, and fighting Wall Street’s push for privatization.

Solidarity forever.
