[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 198430"] Pay very close attention to how this case unfolds. Not so much to the specifics, but to the *process*. Because filing charges of Unfair Labor Practices with the NLRB is how your rights are protected in the days after the NLRB certifies the APWA as your exclusive bargaining agent, and simultaneously decertifies the Teamsters and their collective bargaining agreement with UPS. Note how many injustices do not rise to the level of being chargeable. How you have to sometimes let offenses accmulate. How debatable everything is even if you originally thought it was clearcut. How *long* the process takes from initial offense to final remedy. How expensive in money and manpower. How things are in limbo in the meantime, while the negotiating clock is ticking off the weeks and months. How the NLRB is reluctant to intervene. How there's no guarantee your side will win completely, or that you will win at all, even if you are convinced you *should* win. Further, since all sides can file charges, expect your side to be the target of charges, including trumped-up charges, from the other sides (UPS, the Teamsters, TDU, the APWA, other unions on the ballot (if any), and various rank and file members acting on their own, or on behalf of their organization.) I predict lots of drama. [/QUOTE]
