The union advocates for fair wages, benefits, safe working conditions, and the preservation of public postal services.
APWU typically advocates for labor rights, collective bargaining protections, retirement and healthcare benefits, workplace safety standards, public sector employment protections, and legislation supporting the financial stability and public service mission of the United States Postal Service.
The union is primarily funded through membership dues paid by postal workers.
APWU is affiliated with the AFL-CIO and collaborates with other postal and federal employee unions.
