[QUOTE="Gman24, post: 122406, member: 6367"] Going strong in Tennessee also. We had a meeting Sunday a week ago for our area centers. There were people from every center withing about 100 miles. The turnout was better than if it had been an IBT meeting. Several issues were discussed. The issues will be the same across the board. No seperate issues or contracts like across the country unlike the situation now, having several different contracts for different parts of the country. There will be ONE MASTER contract across the country. The APWA has a strong presence in 27 states and they are continually bringing on others. Just because it hasn;t made it to your part of the country yet doesn't mean it won't. The APWA is not YET funded like the IBT. They are operating on the money right now JUST from memberships and small donations from it's members. ALL of it's representatives are UPS employees and have to work there regular shift everyday. They have to schedule meetings pretty much on the weekends. It started out with just 2 guys. Now there are several teams that are able to lighten the load in other parts of the country. The best thing you can do now is SPREAD the word. Show them that the APWA IS for REAL and they are sincere in what they preach. It's nice to see that about a 3rd of the posts on this forum are now some sort of APWA message or question. Keep it up guys, the more talk there is the quicker it will happen. [/QUOTE]
