[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 150765, member: 1664"] Tie, I agree that one should be careful in their affairs. I threw my money into their coffers, not my entire future. I give more to charity a month and less than 2 months "REAMSTER" union dues to APWA to be a member. APWA is not the only option. Another option is to do as I have done. Quit the union and stand on your own merits as an employee. If I can not meet the standards of the company ask/tell me to leave and I will. You are correct that APWA is not a union. It is association of members. After a blind ballot vote of UPS employees meeting or exceeding 30% the paperwork is in place to certify as a union, until then it can only be called an association. I am not a spokesman for APWA ,nor do I represent myself as such. My question ,to youTie, is what is the other option? Continuing with the "REAMSTERS"? Beg AFL-CIO to take us in? TDU to save the "REAMSTERS"?Our represention by the (dare I say the word) Teamsters is dismal and not representive of UPSERS. In my own heart, I refuse to give money to any group that does not have my interests at heart. I enjoy your posts. Keep them coming. PAX, Sat [/QUOTE]
