Members of the APWU endured freezing temperatures with their brothers and sisters from other federal and postal unions at a “Government Works for America” rally organized by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) outside the Senate on Feb. 10. The rally was held in conjunction with AFGE’s Legislative and Grassroots Mobilization conference. Union members called on Congress to support the government programs that the people want and expect – including the Postal Service. “The U.S. Mail is Not for Sale,” was one of the spirited chants.

“Solidarity is not a one-way street, it always has to be a two- and a three- and a four-way street,” President Dimondstein said to a crowd of lawmakers, union 
members and activists. “We salute all the good work you do.”
