Youngstown, Ohio Area Local 443

On Jan. 13, 2025, the United States Postal Service and the American Postal Workers Union have mutually agreed to a one-time Retirement Incentive, including an "early out" option for eligible employees.

National Day of Observance is NOT a Holiday…well…not exactly anyway. To keep Our Members informed with the most accurate information, I am E-mailing this Shout-Out about the upcoming National Day of Observance on January 09, 2025. Many Members of Our Local (and Management, too) have contacted me with many different and yet the same questions about January 09, 2025.

On Friday Dec. 20, the Senate voted 76-20 to pass The Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82), righting a decades-old wrong, and winning economic justice for postal, federal, and public-sector retirees by repealing the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO). Passing H.R. 82 was the main legislative goal of the APWU in 2024.

A Notorious Part of History: May 1933: The Dissolution of Labor Unions in Nazi/Fascist Germany May 23, 2024 History is valuable for lessons learned. As authoritarianism and a march toward fascist rule are taking a dangerous hold in the United States, the May 1933 lessons from Nazi Germany should be a wakeup call for all workers and our unions.

Attention APWU Local 443 Retirees

The quarterly luncheon/meetings

will be scheduled as soon as possible.

Stay safe and stay healthy!
