It Pays to Belong!

Being a member of our union is about so much more than being able to file a grievance.  It is about supporting the labor movement and defending workers rights.  It is believing that all working people are entitled to a living wage with benefits that can support a family.  It is about having a voice in the legislative process, helping to ensure the passage of legislation that protects the working class and needed social programs.

That is what it means to belong to the union.  When you become a member you can take part in those activities and you also become eligible for many benefits designed to assist you in your worklife and at home.  THESE ARE BENEFITS ONLY AVAILABLE TO UNION MEMBERS!

King/Vallerie Scholarship Program

Through 2014this program for children of Ohio APWU members has awarded 227 scholarships worth $113,500.00!!  Every applicant is eligible and the scholarships are awarded on a strict "luck-of-the-draw" at a state convention or conference.  More information is available in the Member Resources section.

 

Retirement/Benefits

The members resourse section is filled with information on retirement, from planning to figuring your annunity.  You must be a member to access the resource section.

We established this office to help the many veterans that work in the post office.  Mark Graham, our director, is a US Army veteran and our member resource department has a lot of information important to all service veterans.
