[QUOTE="feeders, post: 55420"] Here is the latest update on the APWA We are now caught up on sending out the Charter Membership cards. If you have not received your member card, and if it has been at least 28 days since you submitted your application, please email us at our website. Last month in an APWA meeting in Memphis, Tennessee, local union officials stood up and interrupted the meeting. They demanded that we answer a laundry list of their questions. They were politely asked to leave, and they refused to do so. Hotel security was called in to remove the gentlemen from the conference room. They did not leave until they were threatened to be arrested for trespassing by hotel security. They asked hotel security if staying in the lobby was considered trespassing. When told by hotel security that they may remain in the lobby, they waited in the lobby, and harassed UPS employees entering and leaving the APWA meeting. As a result of this encounter in Memphis, we decided to limit future APWA meetings to UPS hourly employees only. Also, we would have an off duty police officer at every APWA meeting for security. On Saturday April 9, 2005 in a much publicized APWA meeting in Louisville, Kentucky the following happened. When we got to our conference room, we found out that local union officials had rented the conference room beside us. They were filling their conference room with freight and car hauler drivers. The two conference rooms were separated by rollaway dividers with a common hallway for the two. As promised, we had an off duty police officer for security at the meeting. Shortly after our meeting started, the freight and car haulers crashed in. The single police officer that we had for security did his best to prevent an all our riot! He told us that we needed at least two more uniformed officers, and if we had them, a lot of the thugs would have gone to jail! With a crowd of about 100 UPS employees at the meeting, and an equal amount outside, who were prevented from entering the conference center by thugs, we decided to end the meeting as quickly as possible for the safety of all UPSers present. Thanks to all of you who came out to support us in Louisville. We saw those APWA T-shirts, they looked great, again thanks for your show of solidarity. What happened in Louisville has only strengthened our resolve! Make no mistake about it. [B]WE ARE COMING BACK TO LOUISVILLE, KY[/B] Now we know how desperate the local union officials are. They are trying to keep you from hearing the facts about the APWA. We will have an even stronger uniformed police presence at future meetings to ensure the safety of all UPSers attending.
