Yes, I wish someone with some inside info would post something about this. I wonder which Local 728 BA got tossed out of an APWA meeting.

Is it true that Randy Brown signed in at the meeting?

[teamsterpower]

Look you fucking asshole, You have crossed the line! If you are trying to even insinuate that Our president Randy Brown was at that meeting, you prove that you are nothing but a lying piece of shit whose posts from now on should be dismissed as completely useless and non factual. ALL of us need to be untited against anyone that is trying to destroy OUR union.

I am confused..how does someone (no matter who or whom) get arrested for attending a meeting of a group that is trying to gain member support?

What outrageous thing did the person in question do...that required some one to call the police?

I attended some pretty HOT Union meetings in my day (at Local 728)..one got soo out of hand I asked the guy next to me..if somone should call the cops..."and get a brother Teamster arrested?...have you lost your F**King mind?...I can't stand the bastard thats spouting off..but, if the cops drag him out of here I'll be the first one down to bail him out!", was his reply.

Now..perhaps the APWA would like to tell their side of the story..they had to have some reason for calling the cops!...and their supporters have a right to know what happened.

[krash]

Stark,
He asked question's Yep, they want you to drink the kool-aid before asking questions. Then they have to be pre-approved questions One has to ask where is there backing coming from. They don't have nearly enough fools singed up to support there meetings and lawyers. I'm willing to bet that some other "union busting" organizations is helping the two self-appointed scabs out. They claim to be transparent so why not show us there source of income?

From what I understand, which is heresay, "Higgie", who is my BA, attended this meeting to "ask questions" which were probably embarassing to the APWA organizers. Since they rented the Meeting Room at the motel, they do have the right to higher security and remove someone who is being disruptive. That is what they have done in other parts of the country. "Higgie" wasn't there to give his $150.00 to join up, he was there to raise hell. I'm glad to see my dues hard at work, maybe Randy will give him a Bonus . Usually I see Higgie in my Hub about once a week, I have wanted to ask him about this. I wish someone who was actually there would post some details.

This sounds just like you Eric using your foul mouth and calling people names while you hide behind someone else or a screen name. Haven't you read what people who know something about have posted here? Now who is really the fucking ashole lying peice of shit? You still did not answer the question and can you back up your answer with a roster from that meeting. Be careful of what you post here because there are some of us that know what we are talking about. We don't take bits and peices of conversations and make up tales then post what we think is correct instead we will give the whole nine yards unlike you or your few friends (BC, Newsflash did I miss any of your friends) who post what you tell them to post.

Well on this topic do you care more about stopping these anti-teamster vermin or trashing our president? If you want to sling mud , go over to teamstertalk.I'm on this thread to fight the people trying to destroy OUR union.

[Tsunami]

We all got to work together instead of fighting amongst ourselves. United we stand - divided we fall ! Or the alternative might be chosen , we know that the members at UPS will be the ones paying the price if unions are changed, especially a company union like APWA.

I am here to defend my union The International Brotherhood of Teamsters and local union 728!!! That's why I sent the feeder driver from Knoxviile and his APWA trash back to Knoxville telling him not to bring that crap back into our hub. If he wants another union quit and go to work somewhere else. I hope you take your last sentence to heart from this day forward because there are other ways to destroy our union. It happens every Wednesday for you. Any job worth doing is worth doing it right. I will fight the fight against APWA because my union is worh fighting for. As Alan Lamb once stated in front of some of us one night "I AM A TEAMSTER MAN NOT JUST A DUES PAYING MEMBER". WE all must fight against AWPA!!!!!!!

Ill back that....,. If your not a Teamster, you aint shit... Lets send these APWA union busters packing.... They can go pack to their secretly funded UPS rep and join the management team

[stark]

Guys dig in and protect what you got.....APWA wouldn't want it if the Company had it....your PENSION...

Several years ago I asked questions, I was a little old in the "starting over" game, had a few options to consider most non-Union....in the end I stuck with the Union job..at a time when there was great turmoil within the ranks of the IBT....but, in the end the Union righted itself, the bluster of bull s**t went its' way, sure TDU took a few Locals but quickly became an entirely different TDU...just ask Don Scott and Doug Mims former President and vice Presidents of Local 728

Sure, Ron Carey rode into power with the promise of big (UPS) Pensions and strong armed it across during the UPS strike an incresase that was, in its' inception precarious at best..

Now, the Teamsters have yet another group that has come forward the APWA seeking to single out a select few, in this case UPS...gonna give you your "rights deserts" to hell with "other Teamsters"...in fact YOU don't even need the Teamsters to do for you what WE can..........well, abot 30 or 40 years ago the Carhaulers could have said the same damn thing!

It was the Carhaulers that actually forged the way for the current Central States Pension Fund, (at least in the South) and if they had of formed a "sub Union/Pension enity" blocking any pension increases for ALL other Central States beneficaries (keep in mind that some of the highest paid Teamsters at the time)..you gotta wonder why they were willing to........."share"......at the time major freight companies were going out of business, due to deregulation and higher fuel costs...and UPS was the "new kid" on the block with "pension consecessions" that would mean pension increases would be delayed...

Well, it seems pretty obvious the Carhaulers have been replaced by UPS...APWA is replacing TDU with grand Pension promises..but, in the end it's Teamsters being Teamsters that come through in the end..............why?...........because you can't take promises to the bank...no matter how good the "promise" sounded at the time...like I said ask Don Scott, Doug Mims...and Ron Carey....

I wasn't there, however, I know what happened. Randy Brown needs to give his 'DIRECTOR OF UPS" Brother Robert Duncan the bonus. The President of Local 728 had no idea of the meeting until Brother Duncan informed him. Brother Duncan found out because a Female Feeder Driver found a flyer in the ladies bathroom at Roswell. Brother Higgie did his job and asked the right questions. Eric and Randy are trying to capitalize on anything that Brother Duncan does. Eric and Randy even went to Washington sucking up to the IBT. I guess David "Sweet Cheeks"

[color="#FF0000"]Pratt[/color]

is not looking so fine now and Eric and Randy maybe contemplating kicking him out of their discusting threesome.

[stark]

Well..why can't ANY group that offers a forum to discuss the Union or Pensions not be an OPEN FORUM? If anyone has BETTER idea why not share them freely with the membership?

If the fear is someone will disrupt a meeting then...when a meeting is conducted PROPERLY have a Sargent-at-Arms to eject the person..why hire a cop...to police
the meeting....

I don't give a damn who you are......you gonna give a UNION guy an arrest record because he came to a UNION related meeting and asked a few questions you didn't like?.....

Just one word of advise to the APWA.........either call off the cops....or pack it in!

If this be the truth. Then why are you trying to take the kudos from Brother Higgi and give them to Brother Robert. Seems Brother Higgi is the one with the guts and gumf to go down there and do what needed to be done. CREIT WOULD GO TO BROTHER HIGGI RIGHT!

Nope, it would go to Brother Duncan he is the one who called Randy to let him know that APWA was having a meeting. So if it weren't for Brother Duncan calling Randy about the meeting Brother Higgie would not have been at the meeting even though he is the business agent at Roswell where the notices were posted but didn't have knowledge of the meeting.

Now you say Brother Higgi is the one that had the guts and gumf to go down there leads me to another question. Why weren't the rest of the agents there. We still have another issue that was never resloved either. Remember my earlier post asking about Randy attending that meeting?

So let's get it straight Higgie was the only one to go to this meeting and stand up? I think that says alot about the current administration and what they feel they should be fighting for. Credit due where credit goes this one goes to Brother Duncan for making the call when Brother Higgie didn't know whats posted in his own building!!!

I have heard that Randy Brown was out of town, I think he was working on organizing the Savannah bus drivers, which was successful by the way. I know that both the candidates in our coming election are passionate about unionism, I would hope that we can focus on real issues instead a lot of bullshit false charges I keep reading on T-Net.

I could not agree more about stopping the BS here on Teamster Net. I know there are a few people out there who refuse to tell the truth in fear of losing their job at the union. You might want to check your source of info on where Randy was because it wasn't in Savannah. You might ask Eric Robertson where he was since he wasn't at the APWA meeting either but he was back from his trip.

Do you think unionism is someone who will waste our union resoucres just for a re-election? Did you hear that Randy went outside our union to hire an organizer when we have plenty of people here that pay dues into our union and have organized more than anyone Randy hired? Remember he finally answered Brother Lamb's question about that at the membership meeting or were you there?

Lets add up some facts then see who is about unionism. Randy's slate has Jimi Richards on it who is one of his organizers to the tune of about $3,000 dollars per week of your dues money. Then there is this Ben kid from somewhere outside our union not knowing what he is being paid but I'm sure it's not less than $1,000 per week plus his benefits package. These guys are Randy Brown supporters and being paid from your hard earned dues money just to help Randy get re-elected and you want to call that unionism.

Brother let's do the math and tell me that's unionism. $4,000.00 times 17 weeks = $68,000.00 of your dues money from Sept. 1st to Dec. 28th just to try and get re-elceted.
