[QUOTE="nospinzone, post: 97729, member: 1335"] To clarify your points, you believe that (1)APWA is only concerned with pension issues and (2) APWA'S ability to call a nationwide strike. (1) APWA'S main talking point is the pension. That's where the largest mismanagment has occurred thus damaging the most valuable thing that a majority of the employees have: security of retirement. However, at meetings if you ask about their perspective on contract negotiations, Eason and Skillman will tell you first that the contract in place is a pretty strong contract,,,,,but the problem is that the business agents won't enforce it!! They are too busy servicing the other trade companies they represent. Grievances get piled up and never resolved which allows Buster to push you around. Then you get instances where the agent and local won't stand up for the employee like in Florida where the local out-right sold out a member resulting in a wrongful discharge award of $11million. Since APWA business agents would only have to service UPS worksites, there workload would allow them to visit each site on their route once a week to make themselves available to their "customers"===YOU. And as these guys are traveling the country, they are asking people what they would like to see differently in the contract. Your input is crucial. (2) APWA is going to replace the Teamsters at the national level, and they will represent UPS parcel workers on a national as well as local level. If the membership chooses to strike nationally, APWA would make it happen. Its in their charter. Email them your concerns. [/QUOTE]
