Here is a link that I stumbled upon that allows you to compare the plans all at once. You can sort by cost, coverage, etc. Pretty useful. Its straight off the LiteBlue website, but its not really affiliated with USPS. Log into Lite Blue Here - Then come back and click on This Link to be taken to "Consumers Checkbook - Guide to Health Plans for Federal Employees" - This is FREE as long as you log in and go through Lite Blue. I like it because it allows you to compare and contrast lots of different info all on one site - From Dental and Vision, to the Health Plans. Give careful consideration to the APWU Plans. They are very competitive in pricing!

Announced in our October Union Meeting, Maintenance Craft Director Dan Bolyard has resigned due to the fact that he took a transfer into the Motor Vehicle Craft. As outlined in our By-Laws, this means there will be a special election! If you are interested, plan on attending the next union meeting with someone to nominate you. The special election provisions apply! If you have any questions please feel free to ask INFO@APWULocal170.org - This is an exciting position that governs much of the Maintenance Craft. Thank you Dan Bolyard for stepping up when we needed you! I look forward to collaborating with you and getting you active in your new craft!

Please follow the above link if you were skipped on your retroactive raise payment. We have had a couple members reach out because they received no payment. This payment would have been visible on the paycheck we received 9/4/2020. There would have been roughly 11 adjustments. If you were employed as an APWU represented craft employee during 2018, 2019 and/or through about March 2020, you should have received something. Please contact a steward with questions. This is because our contract expired in 2018 but wasnt settled until 2020. PSEs and Career employees were affected. Use the above form and FAX it to the union office for assistance. Thanks!

We have a limited supply of T-Shirts in Red (Sm,Med,Lg,XL,2XL,4XL), Black (Sm,Med,Lg,XL,2XL,3XL,4XL) and Navy Blue (Sm,Med,Lg,XL), as well as a limited supply of APWU 170 face masks. Members in good standing can request ONE, with the understanding that this is a first come/first served basis and we will likely run out. Please contact Panya at Secretary@APWULocal170.org with your Color and Size preference. We will do our very best to take care of everyone, but this is strictly a "while supplies last" type of thing. If you have already received a new t-shirt, please do not ask for a second. Keep it honest and fair so everyone has a chance.
