LABOR HISTORY FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST
The first APWU National Convention was held in 1972, following the founding of the American Postal Workers Union that same year. This inaugural convention marked the official start of the union’s biennial tradition, bringing together delegates from across the country to establish policies and set the direction for the newly formed organization. The APWU National Convention is held every two years (biennially), with recent conventions in 2024 (Detroit) and 2026 (Los Angeles). The APWU will celebrate 55 years of progress this year.
