C O P A

 

The latest issue of the Postal Worker lists WV as having collected far less toward COPA than our goal.  Our goal is $11,032.  Please make a contribution today.  We can’t change the current tone of politics without political involvement from each of us.  Payroll deductions of $4.00 per pay period, with our rate of pay, won’t kill any of us. 

 

PLUSS

 

The West Virginia Postal Workers Union is an avid participant in the PLUSS program and awards two scholarships to attend PLUSS each year.  They are the Dorothy Meadows and Cecil Romine scholarships.  Selections are made annually at State Convention.  In addition, the Institute for Labor Studies and Research, who sponsors our summer school through WVU, affords one scholarship in the form of a rebate so that the recipient can attend the following year at no cost.  The recipients chosen for the WVPWU scholarship to attend PLUSS 2008 were Jason Honaker of Beckley and Larry Foldi of Wheeling.  The first runner-up is Josh Snyder of Charleston.  To download a registration form, complete with tuition information, please visit www.postallaborschool.org.  Check back often for these and other updates.
