[QUOTE="my2cents, post: 53013"] wkmac, I can see your point with the local decerts, but although I could be wrong, I don't think the NLRB would accept the APWA as a local bargaining agent. It wouldn't surprise me if there are a few local bargaining units down south where a decert petition would be successful. The designation the NLRB gave the APWA is similar to the designations given under the RLA. This would make a good legal question, however, if a local bargaining unit decertified the Teamsters and voted in the APWA, would the result stand? My comments about the APWA during the upcoming IBT elections were tongue in cheek. I don't see the APWA taking over the IBT, I see it more as a "none of the above" type of action. Additionally, to be honest, I think the APWA suffers somewhat from a bunker mentality, which hurts its message and gives the impression of being vague. This national movement is a huge task and getting the right fact-filled messages out with effective communication is key. [/QUOTE]
