Brothers & Sisters

It has come around to that time again... elections of APWU National Officers.  Last election we, as the PPWU Executive Board, decided it was important that you were aware of who we supported, since we are a group elected by the entire state of Pennsylvania.  Our process, for selecting endorsements, was guided by an  important rule we have been working under.

An endorsement, for an office, will only be made if a candidate has the

unanimous approval of the PPWU Executive Board.

Some candidates may have received majority support, but in an effort to promote solidarity, one member of the executive board can block a candidate endorsement.  This year (something I cannot remember ever happening before) we have two candidates from different locals competing for the same position.  Both candidates are from locals that are in good standing with the PPWU and both are on teams.  Therefore, I thought it would be nearly impossible to get any unanimous endorsements. However, we did achieve unanimous agreement on quite a few which should indicate to you how good a job those individuals are doing.

This is our final list and we hope you will give each candidate the consideration they deserve when casting your ballot.

Most important, please, vote. 

It will determine your future as a worker, and particularly, as a postal worker.

Yours in Solidarity

Mike Stephenson, President

Pennsylvania Postal Workers Union

The PPWU Executive Board is comprised of fourteen (14) elected officers from throughout the state of Pennsylvania, who are all very opinionated.  They come from ten (10) different locals covering all districts of the state of Pennsylvania.  Five (5) are present or former Local Presidents.
