Working people around the world are experiencing attacks on our jobs and the public services we rely on every day.
On Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, at 7 p.m. ET, APWU President Mark Dimondstein is hosting a “Solidarity Call” webinar for our members to hear more about the important fights taking place in the United States and around the world, how those fights affect postal workers, and what actions we can take to support our union family in struggle.
During the webinar, Dimondstein and an international panel of labor leaders will speak about their particular struggles, and what APWU members and the public can do to help them succeed in their fights for justice.
Panelists on the call with Mark include:
