The Publications Committee is looking for member submissions for a new issue of The Postal Worker. The spring 2026 issue of The Postal Worker, our Local’s quarterly publication, is scheduled for release in late June 2026.
With the looming threat of a massive rollout of community mailboxes the new issue of the Postal Worker plans to seize on that word ‘Community’ to tell stories about how postal workers are essential to the fabric of communities thanks to the civic-minded hard work we do every day across the Vancouver local. So much is going on with our jobs rights now – the collective agreement vote, proposed transformative depot restructures, continued egregious health and safety violations by management – The Postal Worker is a creative outlet for members to tell their stories about their experiences on the job.
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 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 June 5 2026 to be considered for the spring issue.
