RE-ELECT Jerome Pittman
Western Region MVS National Business Agent
Expertise Based On Experience
MVS NATIONAL DIRECTORS
Mike Foster, National Motor Vehicle Director
I enthusiastically endorse and recommend Jerome Pittman for reelection to the position of Western Region MVS NBA of the American Postal Workers Union. It is very unusual for a MVS headquarters officer to get involved in regional Union politics or elections, actually this is my first endorsement in over 15 years as a national officer. When I selected Javier Pineres in 2013 as my assistant in Washington D.C., that left a vacancy for the Western Region NBA.
While I certainly knew and respected Jerome’s work in the San Francisco local, at the time of the appointment he was not the craft director of the local, and was not selected.
He took his disappointment very graciously and set about getting elected on his own in an impressive victory over the incumbent.
I have been impressed with Jerome’s commitment to the MVS Craft, his eagerness to do a good job for MVS and get it right, his willingness to check with the MVS leadership to make sure his interpretation of the contract and Article 39 coincides with the national’s position.
It has been a difficult three years with the USPS continuous attacks on MVS and their attempts to contract out PVS, but with dedicated MVS officers like Jerome Pittman working with Javier and myself we have continued to fight the good fight in the most difficult times.
I look forward to working with Jerome in the next term, and recommends that he receives your support and vote.
Keep on Trucking, The Struggle Continues.
JAVIER PINERES, NATIONAL ASSISTANT MVS DIRECTOR
“You have my continued support and my endorsement.”

Jerome Pittman has been a blessing to the Motor Vehicle Craft, I can’t imagine the backlash from the members should he not be re-elected as the Western Region Motor Vehicle Service, National Business Agent.
You can betcha bottom dollar that Mgt would be rejoicing, and doing cartwheels in the streets, if they no longer had to deal with Brother Jerome Pittman representing the Motor Vehicle Service in the Western Region.
Jerome has accomplished so much for the Motor Vehicle Service. His growing number of victories has caused everyone inside and outside the craft to sit-up and take notice. His reputation for fighting for the members not only precedes him, but grows each and every day with each grievance victory. He has won ‘truly’ tough cases that many people felt were unwinnable. And yet because of his hard work, diligence, and commitment to representing the members in the Motor Vehicle Service to the best of his abilities, he has more than earned our support and our votes.
There will always be naysayers that wish to tear down someone’s accomplishments. But as many of you in the Western Region have already seen first hand, Brother, Jerome Pittman is no joke, and he is not to be taken lightly, when it comes to representing those of us in the Motor Vehicle Service.
Please join me in voting to Re-Elect Jerome Pittman as the Western Region Motor Vehicle Service, National Business Agent.
