Shaky
You’re reaching here and its pretty obvious. It doesn’t take much effort to type out a message full of empty accusations, as you have demonstrated. If you look at my posts, I’ve sourced my shots at the IBT. But I guess that since you have told the world on BrownCafe that Danny Eason is akin to Judas, that you have first hand knowledge of his prayer life….or that God has appeared to you in a dream and felt that He needed to share with you the balance in Danny’s personal checking account. You wanna talk about Judas…..while the good people in Central States, who have faithfully and trustingly contributed their money over the past thirty years, will be drawing around $3000 a month MINUS THE INCREASED INSURANCE PREMIUMS, your all-knowing el-Presidente (J.P. Hoffa) is pulling in just below $300,000 a year,,, that’s on the books. Gee….wonder how his pension is doing? Keegel….$281,976 Good ole “Jack” Cipriani from the Raleigh district you speak of….$158,216. Mr hall…..$141,267. (source: US Dept of Labor Union Filings) Theyre just sucking this UPS gravy train dry. And you have the audacity to impugn the integrity of these two guys from North Carolina who WERE GOING TO RETIRE INTO OLD AGE, LIKE THE REST OF THE LONG TIMERS AT BROWN, PRIOR TO THE CUTS IN CENTRAL STATES PENSION PAYOUTS???? Please, Shaky…..show us how APWA is using the contributions of its members for personal gain. Ask your sources in Raleigh if Danny is driving up in the new 7 series BMW or show us the statements of his off-shore account where he’s padding up to buy his 40 ft yacht to live on down in the Florida Keys. Give us something that makes us believe you have
one ounce of credibility. Thing is you cant. Because it doesn’t exist. And when you look at the reality of the situation, and add up the expenses they have incurred to travel across the country and back, and to distribute printed materials and to pay for legal expenses, there just aint no money left over to buy a frosty at Wendy’s. Maybe you should ask ‘ole JP or Jack to buy that frosty for ya. Integrity,,,,I dare you to go find an ounce of that up in Chicago. Raleigh has all it needs for now. As for the rest of your weak accusations…..
1. The UPS company helped them pick APWA's attorney, Francis Coleman, but they have signed a "NO CONFLICT AGREEMENT". THey said they were aware that he is the writer of a book on how to keep unions out and advertises his court cases on taking benefits from workers. Also, Eason said that UPS helped them by doing research for them to start their "Union?"".
I dont know where you came up with this "NO CONFLICT AGREEMENT"...Employers are require by law not to interfere or support organizing efforts in their workplace. It's called the NLRA. Do the Teamsters a favor and send the NLRB a copy of this "NO CONFLICT AGREEMENT" and the NLRB will shut down the APWA tonight. I wont be holding my breath on this one.

. The told us that there is no need for a Strike Fund (that APWA DOES NOT HAVE), because they can TRUST UPS to give them a fair contract.
This is a lie that 'ole Dougy Norris is probably feeding you. Doug gets paid $94,000 a year as the international VP to travel to the APWA meetings for the purpose of intimidation or disruption. How many carhaulers did he take to the Memphis meeting, Shaky? In every meeting ive been to, the approach to negotiations that Danny and Van has is that UPS CANNOT be trusted. They will have a strike fund, and since APWA will only have to worry about providing strike funds for UPS employees, they plan on increasing the strike pay well beyond the $100 dollars a week that the Teamsters think you can live off of.
3. They told us they are not like our Teamsters Locals. They will tell anything we ask. They recently put that in one of their newsletters also. OKAY, so why when we asked them how many members they have, and how much money they have, and why are they begging for $12.50 a piece from members for 'PUBLICITY" did they and have they continued to refuse to answer the questions.
I think its obvious here that to provide Teamsters with any information on the performance or membership of the APWA would be strategically unwise. And IBT has made it a point to focus its use of intimidation in areas where support for APWA is strong, so to distribute such information would only benefit the Teamsters. But if you would like to make an issue out of this, feel free to do so. Its the only reasonable arguement you've made in this post.
The APWA has a RIGHT TO WORK instruction on their web page telling HOW TO GET OUT OF THE UNION! APWA says they do not care if people belong, and they should not have to belong. HOW STRONG IS THAT?? WHAT KIND OF UNION IS THAT? IT SOUNDS LIKE THE UNION THAT UPS WANTS!!
Forced socialism has been the standard in unionism for as long as can one remember. By making participation in the union an elective choice, the success of the union relies on the participation of the people it represents. The voice of each individual member regains its
true strength which is diminished by the forced socialism of the IBT.
4. Eason used to profess be a Christian type gentleman and respected that. But now, Skillman has used him and enveloped him in the lies to help bilk the money out of those that do not know them and their scam. Judas Begat Judas. Raliegh fellow workers say that Eason has joined the "money changers in the temple" and abandoned his Christianity for a share of the Pyramid Pie. They don't have to make much off the scheme. It is all profit, all cash, and all from trusting workers. These two make used car salesmen look like saints.
I wish i had this kind of insight into the hearts of men. But go ahead and spread your
web of lies. It becomes obvious that as you fail to make good arguements on the true issues that affect the people at UPS, that you are forced to attack the character of two good men with over 50 years combined at brown.
