Hello my Teamster Brothers,

I was banned from Brown Cafe after posting the truth about the Union busting lawyer behind the APWA and then defending myself after enduring many personal attacks including those from a moderator. This site clearly has an anti-Teamster bias and our voices must be heard.

This is the thread:
http://www.browncafe...ing_lawyer.html

They will be moderating posts of new members so be sure to post a few "nice" ones until it stops saying your post must be reviewed by a moderator, then let them know how you feel.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Try this one. http://www.browncafe.com/forum/ups_labor_r...ing_lawyer.html

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

It's an embarrassment that members need to be asked to post in support of the IBT. But then again, given the history of the punk commie scab,"hoffa the corrupt" I can understand the need to ask. Ten years ago, the punk commie scab and his supporters would be leading this campaign for the APWA. Their only objective then was to make the administration in office then fail. No consideration was given to the effect it would have on the membership. they didn't care about the membership, so now the membership doesn't care about it. This administration has only itself to blame for the ennui of the membership.

:cool: The APWA is UPS's answer to the TEAMSTERS!! UPS knows now is the time to make a move like this while all the in-fighting is going on in the Teamsters union about UPS, its pension etc.....!! We do not support APWA !! We would hope that the union gets up off its @$$ and do something!! You ask us to support IBT does IBT support ALL its members??? Cause we are going to need each other in the very near future. IBT members we need to unite nto for the sake of the GEB but for ourselves, for our continued existence, for our families, for this country to survive ! It was unions that really made America great, it was a living example of 'freedom', it is one of the main reasons people from all over the world want to come here to live and work ! Unions stood for a honest day of work for a honest day's pay ! APWA is trying to get to our pension funds thats what they want. But just like another member said, it is our own fault that this is happening, after all we the members elect our leaders, RIGHT ?? :cool: Sayonara !! :razz:

No matter what problems we have in this Union of ours one thing is for sure we are far better than most.I just hope that the members at UPS don't find out the hard way as the flight attendants did.
If your not going to fight for it no one is going to give it to you. So put your gloves on.
