[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 199939"] [b]We shouldn't have to join the APWA to get info that affects us all[/b] Badpas, Much of the confusion in this Labor Relations forum is the result of the persistant secretiveness of the APWA. They are proposing to take over *all* of our pensions, not just Central States, and take over *all* of our union affairs, not just the affairs of their supporters. They are not seeking to breakaway just with their own people and their own people's pension money. They want it all nationwide! This makes it everybody's issue. Yet they adamantly refuse to release the kinds of information we all need to make an informed choice. Most of us do not have the option of attending an APWA meeting because the APWA has not come to our area. I question how much actual new information I would get at such a meeting anyway. Maybe if it was a week long seminar, but not just a few hours. If you have inside information, *please* post it. The rest of us are playing at a severe disadvantage because we know big changes are proposed for us, but we can't evaluate the situation properly because all we have to go on is postings from the APWA cheerleading squad. I assume they are not authorized spokesmen, but what are we to do? The card collection campaign is underway; the clock is ticking. We have to make what evaluations we can based on their postings, for lack of anything more official. [/QUOTE]
