UPS Union Issues
Why are some UPS employees members of two unions? I'm confused!

[QUOTE="scratch, post: 160496, member: 1674"] I have to admit that I have been confused by this thread. Its posted in the wrong forum, and to the best of my knowledge, UPS employees are represented by [B]three [/B]unions, the IBT, IAM, and the pilot's union. The APWA isn't a union at all, only in the stage of trying to turn itself into one. I am in Central States, and believe me, that is the biggest gripe I have about being employed by UPS since 1975. I don't care what part of the country you are in, everyone should realize that the Social Security and Pensions that we used to think would take care of us at retirement age just isn't going to happen. You can easily retire wealthy if you invest as much as possible in stuff like mutual funds, your 401K, and other such investments. I have a lot of respect for the guys who want to improve things by replacing the Teamsters. I just don't see that it will happen anytime the next decade. Most of the country either hasn't heard of the APWA or think their current pension will somehow be alright. I am in the South with the APWA founders just a few hundred miles away, but a majority of my co-workers have never heard of them. I have twenty three years credit in CS, if APWA pulled some miracle soon and got in, it couldn't help my situation.:sad: [/QUOTE]
