[QUOTE="my2cents, post: 55393"] OK2BC, I'm sure this new union doesn't have all the answers to your concerns, but you got to start somewhere. As the chiche goes, Rome wasn't built in day. Perhaps you could lend your expertise in helping this new organization get on it's feet. After all, it's a employee driven organization. As I see it, the three worst things working against this new union are fear, apathy and inertia. Getting people out of their comfort zone or their head out of the sand to even think about worker issues will be a challenge. Many won't do anything until an issue literally slaps them directly in the face. Personally, I try to raise workplace issues with my fellow co-workers. I believe I'm known as the guy who walks around handing out newspaper clippings, Internet news, etc. Sometimes I wonder if its worth the effort, but I persist anyway. Most are content to talk about sports, workplace gossip, etc. If the APWA is to be a national success, it will come down to it's abilty to communicate with this group. [/QUOTE]
