A note from the President - John Olive

If you are a regular reader here you must have noticed my unending praise for Union officers and stewards who work for me and you every day. But the most important ingredient for a successful local union is its members. So let me say thank you here and now for each and every member. We all strive for excellence.  We strive for excellence in our personal life, in our business life and we strive for excellence in our work life. Because we are human sometimes we fail but we do succeed and if we try hard enough we can succeed often.

My job as your President can be defined in very narrow terms. It is my job to assure for you that your local union succeeds. Thankfully, I do not face this task alone; but, you need to know who helps the most. Month after month you read my praises to this or that Union official be they National, State or Local and they certainly deserve praise or I wouldn’t offer it. But, at the end of the day, no officer and no steward no matter at what level he or she works can accomplish anything for you or for me without the support for them you bring to work every day.

As you know, my age-old mantra is, “If you don’t have a Union on the workroom floor, you don’t have a union.”  Well, we do have a union and we have a union on the workroom floor.

So this is no thank you for some officers and stewards. This is a thank-you to you, the members, for providing such strong support, day after day. Your support is so strong and so dependable that we cannot possibly fail as a Union.

It is my hope that this website will provide you with the information you need to get to know us, and to help you as well.

The members of the Pensacola Area Local make my job and all of our officers’ and stewards’ jobs easy. Thank you for being there and thank you for doing what you do. The members of the Pensacola Area Local American Postal Workers Union make it possible for us to do everything we do. You Are The Union!
