nyteam06,Quit the Teamsters? You mean quit my union which has supported me for YEARS? Without the IBT/Teamsters my co-workers and I wouldn't have good insurance or good pay or good anything.
As for the "thug union" crap - good grief. How many Hollywood flicks have you been watchin? This isn't Hollywood - its real life and my B.A. and principal officers have been strong, law-abiding people for years.
Ya,WHEN is the next/WHERE is the next Association of Parcel Workers meeting???? Does anybody know?
Local, you're simply mistaken. As I stated in the other thread, the initiation fee is $150 prior to certification and $225 afterwards. I verfied this today over the phone. $150 is what is listed on the website. And if you dont believe me, then go up to someone in your barn who joined recently and ask them how much they wrote their check out for.you all need to go to them so you can hear the difference from one meet to the other. now folks your membership will be 250.00 not the 150.00 oops forgot thats if you give now and not later.
When the Teamsters called the strike against OVERNITE many people here at the K.C. facility honered it. What those people didn't expect to hear from their union friends,who didn't work for Overnite, was their plans of what they were gonna do to their friends that they had been working with for years. Most who honored the strike crossed within days because of what they were asked to do to their co-workers who chose to work instead of going on strike.
It was the Carey team which took on Overnite.
From your post I can understand why you have such a hard time understanding them.Maybe we can get them to throw in a subscription to hooked on phonics for you.you all need to go to them so you can hear the difference from one meet to the other. now folks your membership will be 250.00 not the 150.00 oops forgot thats if you give now and not later.
Hoffa better then Carey? So Carey was better then the guy before? When is the ETA for a clean professional financially sound IBT?I value your thoughts on this - but still believe the new IBT administration - Hoffa - is a huge improvement over corrupt-Carey. It was the Carey team which took on Overnite. The team now at the IBT has their heads on straight.
then go up to someone in your barn who joined recently and ask them how much they wrote their check out for.
i believe you said in the "for the apwa forum" it was 250 correct youselfLocal, you're simply mistaken.

not for me thanks anyway. Maybe you need to get your head out of ---- this is the real world not make believeFrom your post I can understand why you have such a hard time understanding them.Maybe we can get them to throw in a subscription to hooked on phonics for you.
read papers see the real footage from the last overnite attempt.
Oh Lord - that Overnite attempt was a few years ago - I am sure our Union has improved its methods since then. Come on, have some faith!
For starters why would you be interested in the teamsters?The corrupt under funded pensions,they use thier members dues for personal use,they lie to thier members.they the (IBT)have forgotten thier purpose and they have forgotten the people they are suppose to represent.Also rember what Mr. HOFFA said.We will organize Overnite or put them out of business.If this is the type of representation you want have at it.You will be giving the teamesters alot more money than what the APWA needs.And in return you will get alot less from the teamsters.The teamster have gone from an organization to just another corporation that is very greedy.Last of all if the rest of the employees that have been here for ten or more years are like me you will never see the teamsters at UPSfreight.Not even an option.Sorry we stick together and if we join a union it will be the APWA.why would i want to join a union(APWA) or non-profit org. that is so small and cant give me simple answers.THATS ALL I WANT!!!! i go to ibt meetings and they give me answers is this because they are established. if you guys think i am joining apwa and giving them 150 or 250dollars you are crazy.............
