The "anti union" lawyer is only in place due to the complexities of the law with regards to changing unions at UPS Parcel, the experience is the key here. After all when one is accused of a murder? Would you go and tell the court " a ya judge what ever flunky public defender you got is good" No of course not, if you have the ability to get the best you get the best. By the way when was the last time anyone heard a lawyer joke that didn't poke fun at or impuin their chosen profession. Go figure?
Are we afraid? Come on, if it ever happens?Teamster251 said:
One, either the IBT will look good or the APWA will look good. About as fair a call as it could get. Maybe you can help local776 there in Harrisburg and get some pressure on the home office? What federal pen is the home office out of anyway?

Funny you state 100 yrs? What was the membership at it's peek?
If you get that then what is it now?
And the final double jeopardy bonus question "is membership showing signs of expansion" ?
Why would any honest man ask another to pay his pension with his work and pension money? You old farts will get my Social Security taxes, I'll be damned if I'll put my pension dollar in as well. I may drive truck but, give me a little more credit? UPS benefits for UPS worker Only, Choose the APWA!

Ironshot I suggest that you refresh your knowledge of the forums rules. They will be enforced. Yellow, as you call him, has a User Name the same as you. It is stldude44 and he is a well respected moderator on these boards. There is a rule that has to do with respect and if memory serves me right it is the 1st one. There are members here on the boards from all across the spectrum of trucking and they all may voice their opinions here as long as they do it within the rules. Nobody is above these rules.

Interference?
Mr. Hillbilly,,, I dont think Iron meant any disrespect in calling STL "yellow". He was simply pointing out STL's employer which is of interest in this discussion. Why should a Yellow Freight employee be influencing UPS labor negotiations? It's like the having a Boston Red Sox official advising the Yankees on team management issues. This spreads into how the Teamsters negotiate contracts. They have all of these Yellow Freight and other companies influencing them while at the same time they are suppose to be doing what is best for UPS employees. What is best for UPS members may not always be what is best for STLDude and his coworkers. This is a contradiction and conflict of interest plain and simple.hillbilly frog said:

I'm glad drivers from unions are willing to chat online. Can someone from the teamsters tell me what top rate is. Can someone from apwa tell me what top rate is and do they get time an half?
Ironshot:
We are not UPS!
Ironshot:
Oh, you're not going to get old? I'll bet you will be waiting by the mailbox to get your SSI check when it comes time.(if it's still availible)
It sounds like you want something for nothing.
How come the anti-IBT side is usually throwing out the insults? You can get your point across with out.

Like Steve so aptly reminded us, this is a web board. I doubt Hoffa or Keegel or Hall is watching these boards, and I doubt any APWA official is either. If you feel a debate of sorts is needed to make up your mind, first.....get a large contingency of coworkers who feel the same. Second, take your request to the leadership of the two parties. I cant do all the work for you, Local.LOCAL776 said:
Yellow freight employee has agenda that is not in the best interest of the UPS employee. Yellow Freight employee talks up the need for "brotherhood", tells people that if they support another union they will only split up IBT and weaken it. UPS employee feels obligated to stand with the "brothers and sisters" so as to avoid being lableed a sc** or disloyal while failing to objectively evaluate the situation in light of what is best for himself, his family, and his UPS coworkers. Yellow Freight employee has successfully altered one vote in the UPS labor/union process.
I was chatting with a regular Parcel driver today,on my route.
I asked him about the APWA.
He looked at me like I just stepped of a flying saucer.
He had a blank look on his face.
so I asked him again.
We said he never heard of it.
The only union he knows of involving UPS is the Teamsters.
So does any one of you other posters know if any parcel drivers know anything about this other union organization?

Whether or not you think the APWA will do a better job for you or not it has been proven time and time again that two different Unions in the same CO. Is not conducive for the employees. One of the basic proncipals of unions is to stand together. Two different unions in one Co. makes it hard to achive this. If you are smart you will GO TEAMSTER!!!
