[QUOTE="nospinzone, post: 117288, member: 1335"] So how did the IPA manage to get their contract without Teamsters negotiating for them? From what I remember, they received a substantial increase in salary. Shall i source the article to jog your memory? Independent unions have the capability of applying pressure on management as evidenced by the IPA. Should the Blue side and Brown side join APWA, and in orchestration with the IPA, a strike at UPS would shut down every aspect of the operation. That is bargaining power. Should APWA get voted in, people will recognize the need to join the union that represents them in their workplace. And if they dont, they will be shootin themselves in the foot, like you have pointed out. This is called taking personal responsibility for your personal interests. I believe when people consider the opportunities that this will offer, they will take action to support their union. Inaction has gotten us in the current situation. When you consider how wasteful IBT is with our dues, and how much of it goes to services that we dont even receive (servicing the other 1 million people in the union), just how farther could we make those dues go if we only have to take care of 200,000 UPS union members? Look at how many IBT executives are gettin paid in excess of $100,000. Go to the US dept of Labor and pull up some of the financial reports. We are a cash cow for aspiring union bosses! Take those same dues and use them to fund a financially responsible union servicing a much smaller group of members, and the bottomline becomes positive in a hurry. Hence this is why APWA plans to cut dues in half within the first year in office. The strike fund will be sufficient relative to the number of employees that would be covered by the APWA. Feel free to ask Danny or Van for specifics on this. Parcelworkers - A NEW LOOK!? WHAT MAKES THIS UNION LOOK DIFFERENT''? nospin:cool: [/QUOTE]
