[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 576023, member: 18044"] This is Danny Eason's recent email . . . [B][SIZE=5][FONT=Times New Roman]CONTACTS NEWSLETTER July 2009[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=4][B]We have had some response since our last newsletter but not nearly enough. It sounds like a broken record but if we are to get this done it will take money and your help at whatever specialty that you may have. We would like for you to consider becoming a Founding Charter Member if your state hasn’t filled up or to make a contribution. Nothing worth a damn in this life is free; it takes hard work and money to accomplish your goal.[/B][/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [B][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=4][B]Many people are under the impression that the old cards that you may have signed are still good. This is not true. Due to the new contact the Teamsters/UPS have what is called contact bar for a period of three years. During this time we can get new cards signed. What we want to do is have enough cards signed during this three year period to call for an election at the end of it so that UPS/Teamsters can not pull the same thing on us that they did the last time.
