Every member should be getting their ballot for the APWU National Election in the next few days. Our membership voted to endorse AJ Jones for President, Debbie Szeredy for Vice President and Steve Duckworth for Maintenance NBA. AJ is our Eastern Region Coordinator and has helped our Local on numerous occasions. He has come to our aid and helped us deal with many tough situations. He is unmatched on contractual language and one of the best negotiators I’ve ever witnessed. When you get your ballot, please open it and vote for the two or three individuals above depending on your craft. This is one of the most important elections your union has had. The Local is also running a contest where you can take a picture of your sealed envelope and send it to a website and be eligible to win one of several prizes we will be offering. You can find the website on an earlier post on this site. AJ was in Charleston and met several members at the Charleston Post Office and the Plant this week. He truly cares about the members. Please vote.
