Region 8's Community Action Program took a recess to go and help out at the North Texas Food Bank. We opened crates of food and re-packaged them for hungry families.

The Election Committee is set, though they might take more volunteers, and the official election notice has been sent out.

Monthly membership meetings are the core of democracy in our union. The February 3rd Sunday meeting started the process for electing our officers.

The Texas AFL-CIO chose candidates at their political convention in Austin January 28-29. They also passed resolutions favoring labor, including one asking for a cease fire in the Middle East.

Take Action

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) awarded the $6 billion contract for the next generation of postal vehicles to Oshkosh Defense, a company with a reputation for tough military trucks built with union labor with just a small number of electric vehicles on order.

But instead of using this opportunity to expand quality jobs under a decades-old union contract, the company plans to refurbish a vacant warehouse in another state and build these vehicles without a commitment to union wages or representation.

Let’s Build Back Better and put letter carriers in union-made vehicles that are good for the planet. Add your name and sign the petition if you agree.
