It
is with great sadness that we report the passing
of APWU National President "Emeritus" William
Burrus. President Burrus passed away, at
his home on Saturday, May 18, 2018 after a
remarkable life spanning 81 years.
President Burrus served in the US Army before
joining the USPS in 1958. He fought hard
for union members in his home local of
Cleveland, OH. In 1980, Bill was elected
to the position of National Executive-Vice
President, a position he held for 21 years.
In 2001, Bill was elected to the presidency of
the APWU and served the members well until his
retirement in 2010. He tirelessly fought
for the members of the APWU, never settling for
less.
Bill Burrus was the first African-American
ever
to be elected, by the membership, as President
of a national union. President Burrus was
recognized on several occasions as being among
Ebony magazine's 100 Most Influential Black
Americans.
President Burrus was a great friend to
Pennsylvania, the PPWU, and locals throughout
the state. Our thoughts and prayers are
with his wife Ethelda and his entire family.

APWU SCORES
BIG WIN ON "END OF DAY" BUTTON
|
|
Arbitrator Shyam Das found
in favor of the APWU again
in the union’s on-going
efforts to enforce the
Global Settlement Memorandum
of Understanding (GSMOU) and
the Global Settlement Remedy
Agreement (GSRA) for
implementing the GSMOU.
In an
award issued December 8, 2017,
Das found that the “End of Day”
button – a function the Postal
Service added into the Retail
System Software (RSS)
point-of-sale system allowing
postmasters to enter and exit
the system without fully closing
out – did not satisfy the
requirement in the Global
Settlement Remedy Agreement that
postmasters are allowed to
perform bargaining unit work for
only 15 hours per week, to be
counted from the start to the
“end of day.”
