[QUOTE="mittam, post: 196019, member: 1223"] I too walked the picket line in '97. I was proud to go out there and do it. I was there everynite. I worked 2 jobs then and left to walk the line as soon as I got off from my other job. We had 40 people or so there the first 3 or 4 nites. After that the numbers started falling. We would end up with people stopping by for 10 or 15 minutes and then leaving. We did finally have some unity but as I said it only lasted for a few days. That unity has been missing from our center for 10 years now. Till now! The people have come together here to support the APWA, and are finally together. The common goal is getting everything straightened out whether it is the teamsters doing it or through the APWA. The general feelings is that the teamsters have had more than ample time to right the ship, and now we want to go with the APWA. I do agree that the people need to get together, stay together and work together regardless of how things go. If 10 years ago we can come together even for a few days and now we can over the new union then we need to get together and stay there. That is what makes us strong, we have the ability to be a very strong group we need to do it and make it stick. I know talk is cheap but one way or another we need to get involved and stay together.
