Untrue. I remember a contract not too long ago when two feeder drivers from N.C. I believe tried to start their own union. UPWA? That contract was signed and ratified before the Aug. 1st deadline as I remember it. So it can be done.
I guess we'll find out next year if it can be done or not

Know how to tell the female plants from the male plants early on? Only want the females.

Yuup. Male plants have "balls".
I use feminized seeds so I have no issues with the boys.

bro, that pic is from YOUR ARTICLE
i'm using it as an example of why it's STUPID; did you even look at it or read my post? it's totally contradictory

There's a fine line when the balls show up to germination. If you catch them long before they show your good. Feminized seeds? Nice never heard of that. Cool. Not that I know anything about cultivation....heard from a friend.

I think you may be mistaken. I may be incorrect but I think the APWA was around 2007 and I think a tentative agreement wasn't reached till September of that year. Though that is quicker than it has been lately.
Edit... I am wrong.. it was 11 months before the contract was supposed to expire. Good memory @Johney
Though from what I'm reading they started super early on negotiations.

I thought so. I remember they wanted it done before those two guys could get a firm foothold. We had a couple guys in my building that were really pushing for them.

That could be. I don't know. There was no talk about them in my building.

I believe the reason for the early settlement had to due to the Pension Protection act of 2006, Thinking there were penalties applied to the underfunded pension plans after January 2008. Both the Union and Company wanted this contract settled before that deadline.
Meanwhile the IBT/UPS pension was created in 2007 after UPS paid that 6 billion dollar withdrawal fee to the Central States pension plan. Of course that payment was affected by the 2008 market collapse.
The failed APWA attempt was a desperate attempt to get control over the monetary contributions, they were promising the moon in order to decertify the Teamsters after everybody got wind of how bad the Central really was.

There would be more sense of urgency, I think Sean feels it starts us out in control.
I did not have a good feeling about this

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
That’s the scrappers in MA.
