[QUOTE="feeders, post: 55493"] A lot of people have the impression that the APWA has sprung up over night. We started over two years ago when we got letters from Central States saying that our pension was slashed. We told our local union leaders that we were going to do something about it. They grumbled and said all the uproar would reach a fever pitch and die. They said the employees would go back to their regular pacifist routines, and look to the locals to make their decisions for them. We went into our own pockets to get things to the point they are now. We knew we couldn't do this alone, but me made a commitment to each other that we would try. We have 6 attorneys not just one, providing the legal expertise required to do this. Nothing is posted on the website until cleared by all six. All financial statements concerning what pension accruals would be are factual. From the website, to the 50,000 ad flyers, we are doing as much as we can to get the word out to our people. It is imperative that our people know what we are trying to do, then decided for themselves. The Labor Reform Act gives us the employees the legal right to self organize. Make no mistake about it, the other side is coming after us tooth and nail, and we expected it. Some say that we are just dreaming. We say that if you can see it in your mind, then you can make it happen! We now have people on the ground in 37 states.
