Mark Dimondstein 

Mark Dimondstein is President of the American Postal Workers Union

(APWU), which represents over 200,000 U.S. Postal Service workers and 1,500 employees in the private-sector mailing industry.

Currently serving his fourth three-year term, he has transformed the APWU into a fighting, activist organization. He helped establish A Grand Alliance to Save Our Public Postal Service, strengthened the unity among the four postal unions, helped forge the Campaign for Postal Banking, and led the successful fight against a privatization scheme involving the office-supply chain, Staples.

He has promoted unity between postal workers’ contract demands and people’s demands for an expanded, vibrant, public Postal Service. He has been a consistent voice for bringing the war dollars home and having the basic needs of the working class take priority over the military industrial- complex.
