APWU 18th Biennial Convention
August 14 - 18, 2006 Philadelphia, PA
The 18th Biennial Convention's 2,457 delegates represented 359 locals, 50 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Also in attendance were 84 national officers and four Retirees Department delegates.
PMAPWU sent 22 delegates to the convention to participate in a variety of activities, including workshops, conferences, floor discussions and resolutions debates, and even a public protest against facility consolidations in the streets of Philadelphia.
This convention also marked the "100th Birthday" of the APWU, which traces its roots to an August 1906 meeting of postal clerks from Chicago, Louisville, Milwaukee, Nashville, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco. Representing more than 1,000 Post Office workers, they created the National Federation of Post Office Clerks.
We would like to show you a few photos of our PMAPWU convention delegates during the convention. Enjoy!
Complete convention coverage was made available on the APWU's website, in the August News section.
