[QUOTE="nospinzone, post: 232708, member: 1335"] I recognize and agree with yall's pragmatic and realistic opinions that the margin of defeat may be to great to simply be explained by company misconduct. A repeat of the election may only show the same result but with a smaller margin. However, if the charges are true, then UPS violated the law (NLRA). Should APWA give them a free pass to abuse the law in KCK and thus setting a precedent and trend for future elections in SC and Pittsburgh? Filing NLRB charges is the only way the APWA can hold the company accountable when they choose to be a hostile employer in these labor activities. People wrongly assume that the APWA would be a weak labor union when battling the company based on the lack of prior history. Filing NLRB charges and forcing the company to admit their impropriaties when they intentionally mislead the employees to defeat an organization movement is one of the main tools the APWA has to show its ability to effectively handle the company. If you deny the APWA the right to fight the company's misconduct in KCK, you deny them the opportunity to prove themselves to the people, which is what has been asked of the APWA all along. In addition, the people in KCK need to see and realize that the company has never intended to play fair. KCK's vote demonstrates their misperception that the company will treat them fairly. Therefore, the [U]APWA AND THE TEAMSTERS[/U] need to demonstrate to the anti-union crowd within UPSF that union and contract protection is a necessity when working for the big brown machine. As red and Cole have said, these NLRB charges may not alter the election results, but the reasons stated above are why they are necessary. [/QUOTE]
