A new issue of the Postal Worker is right around the corner and we need YOU to contribute! The Publications Committee is putting out the call for member submissions for the fall 2026 issue of The Postal Worker, our Local’s quarterly publication.
Any member can submit and we’re looking for material that reflects issues, concerns, news, testimonials from the work floor. A new collective agreement Is now in place and things are moving quickly with our jobs as a result. CMB rollout looms on the north shore, VRTO implementation at several depots and a new home pick-up program are just a few of the curveballs thrown our way by the employer, with more coming.
All types of written and visual submissions will be considered. Long form essays, cartoons, artwork, poems, activist reports, photographs – we are looking for submissions of all shapes and sizes. If you have a creative idea for something to include please reach out.
Send all submissions to [email protected] for consideration. Even if you have the rough sketch of an idea, reach out to the editors and we will happily guide you through the process to get it to publication.
Please submit by October 21 2026 to be considered for the next issue. Publication is expected for the end of October.
