[QUOTE="Bill, post: 168856, member: 5483"] Everything being equal, what guarantee does the Teamsters have that UPS will continue to place 1.3 billion dollars a year into their coffers. Afterall, UPS employees are only receiving 40% of the money in Central States. Why should UPS continue to fund other companies pensions? At least with the APWA, all the money will be distributed to UPS employees and their families. During the contract negotiations (assuming the Teamsters are still around), the Teamsters will ask UPS for more money. UPS will in all probability tell them to take a hike. It doesn't make sense from the company or employee standpoint to continue down this road. You are lucky to be in the same position as Dorkhead. Please refer to the remarks I made to him in my previous post. Unfortunately, we are all not in that position. I admire your honesty and would appreciate it if others did the same. As for a transition time of years to replace the Teamsters, that is not true. I called the NLRB and asked some questions concerning the procedure for replacing the Teamsters. The response I received was thus: First, 30% of UPS employees have to sign a petition to remove the Teamsters. This is not going to be an easy task. If this is achieved, the NLRB will hold an election between the Teamsters and the APWA. If the APWA is declared the winner, they take over immediately. There is no truth to the propaganda that the Teamsters are spreading that we will be without a union for a year. [/QUOTE]
