[QUOTE="3brownstars, post: 177385, member: 5829"] There are a few points I would like to bring up about the future of [B]our[/B] pension under the control of the [B]APWA[/B]. First is the future coruption that some are eluding to. There are checks and balances in the structure of the [B]APWA [/B]to keep coruption out. One role of the Founding Charter Members is to be a watch dog group, to safeguard against coruption,(power in the hands of the members). Another safeguard against coruption is that every UPS facility will have at least one delegate at the [B]APWA[/B] convention,(again, power in the hands of the members). Give the members a voice and the power to guard against the coruption and you can bet they will do just that. The second point. You only get [B]ONE[/B] pension. If you are the president of the [B]APWA, ONE[/B] pension. If you are a rgional manager, [B]ONE [/B]pension. If you are a b.a., feeder driver, pkg driver, 22.3 combo, etc... [B]ONE PENSION![/B] That way every one is fighting for that one pension to be the very best that it can be. Sounds like the [B]APWA [/B]is asking people to have some personal responsibility, keep an eye on what [U]their[/U] union is doing, and not just let somone do all the thinking for them. Remember folks, to be an officer in the [B]APWA[/B], you have to work at UPS a minimum of 10 years. That means everyone involved knows the job that we do. Blistering hot days in the back of a package car, rain soaked evenings finishing a section of residentials, over night runs in a feeder with the roads covered in ice and snow, missed school plays, missed sporting events or the numerous other things I could list that people don't think of unless they have done our jobs, how many people representing "your best intrest" know anthing about what I have listed? I want people representing me at every level that know what my workday is like. [/QUOTE]
