Colorado APWU Auxiliary

Teaches Kids about Labor History

by Dan Van Minnen

Members of the APWU Auxiliary held classes on Labor history for 12 kids at the Denver Regional Conference held in Golden, CO at the Denver Marriott on June 10, 2006.  District Coordinator Mary Lois Clayson and members of the APWU Auxiliary taught Child Labor classes to children of some of the delegates that attended the Conference.  The APWU Auxiliary provides something for everyone, uniting friends, families and retirees.  The Aurora, CO Local POC is Mary Van Minnen and can be reached at 303-680-5469 if you have any questions or interest in becoming a member or just getting involved.

The Auxiliary is a grassroots organization of volunteers serving out a deep abiding commitment to our American postal Workers Union and its members.  United by common goals and interests, Auxiliary members are engaged in the kind of community and civic involvement that is necessary to present the best possible image of labor to the American people.  The Auxiliary stresses both political and philanthropic work.  Without their help, the APWU would be unable to carry out many of the time consuming “nuts and bolts” activities essential to the success of our union.  Membership eligibility is for any person sponsored by an APWU member, unless that person is a USPS supervisor and not related to an APWU member.  Retirees and their families are also eligible.
