I already voted.
I joined.
$150.00 was a small price to pay, compared to the past and future losses due to the teamsters control.
Thanks, No Spin. You are articulate and well informed. I do not have your skills or knowledge, but I have a belief that APWA would be a great replacement to the teamsters.
How wonderful it would be if UPS knew it was dealing with a union that had a common goal for the benefit of the worker and the company.
I am no "PollyAnna" when it comes to UPS. 21 years has taken that glow away.
An honest, fresh approach to meeting common goals between the company and it's hourly workers is welcomed, by me and the APWA.
