July 2024 - Local 458 sent delegates from Clerk, Maintenance, and MVS Crafts to the National Convention. We rallied on one of the hottest days Detroit could offer, joined the opening ceremonies chorus, sang karaoke, and participated in debate and voting on the resolutions to be brought to contract negotiations.
October 1, 2024 - we held a rally outside the Auburn Post Office to join in on the national Day of Action.
We distributed informational leaflets and had pro-labor bracelets made by Danny, as well as getting our message out via signs and chants!
April 2023 - The highlight of the New England States Conference in Burlington was getting to see Bernie Sanders! First he spoke at a rally in support of the new Ben & Jerry's employee union, Scoopers United; then he came to our conference as a guest speaker! We took notes almost as colorful as the views and other Maine delegates chatted with local USPS employees about our shared labor concerns.
October 2023 - We sent delegates to the All-Crafts Conference in Las Vegas, where they attended craft-specific presentations as well as group events for building community and connections with other members and locals.
