Your COLA is here!
Your COLA is here!
Today career USPS workers covered by the APWU-USPS contract are seeing a paycheck with more money today. Whether it’s your car payment, gas to get to work, or maybe extra food in the pantry - this bump is because members said “we need wages that respect our work.”
We have to tell the story that this increase is thanks to members fighting at the bargaining table. By coming together in our union, we can collectively demand improvements that we wouldn’t win.
We can make changes if we come together. If you're not yet an APWU member join today.
If you are already a member, text 91990 to commit to ask a not-yet-union coworker to join our movement.
Time to join the fight!

This week, all career employees covered by the main APWU-USPS collective bargaining agreement will get a bigger paycheck thanks to our Cost-of-Living-Adjustment (COLA).
That COLA was won by members like you fighting for a strong union contract.
The COLA is $0.48 an hour, which works out to $38.40 per pay period for a full-time career worker. It is additional to our raises and step increases. When PSEs convert to career employees, these adjustments will be reflected in their salary.
Members across the nation are taking action! Let’s see what members in West Virginia can do!
