[QUOTE="Ironshot, post: 173506, member: 6881"] 1) Call Danny ask if spots are open? 2) Knowing a dollar figure would help decide if it is a worthy cause? 3) Stike fund? rhetorical on your part Da? 4) Yes, it exists. Ask Van to show you at then next visit. 5) Again, how does this distant item of importance to a worker become a deciding factor on whether you would choose to give the APWA a chance? As you've seen over and over call Van and ask? Personally, Since the IBT offers nothing short of a good screwing to it's members, stay with them if you need to be in a abusive relationship. Currenty just the possibility of dumping them is appealing. Maybe you want to work until you're 62? Or get just 40 some percent of the UPS dollars that UPS dumps in the joke of a pension called the CS.
