In a crushing defeat to APWA, UPS Freight workers in KC overwhelmingly said 'thanks but NO THANKS' to Van Skillman and his cronies. 203 eligible voters said NO while 66 were bullshitted into a yes vote in a bid to represent 339 workers at a former Overnight facility.

Eason has not been heard from either, ever since his "15 minutes of fame" on Steve Sommers show the other night. It went to hell on him when he admitted that he had never participated in any union activity as a steward, never sat in on a contract proposal as a negotiator, or held a position as an officer of a local.

I was told this morning that a call placed to apwa's phone said it was disconnected...................

Look fool, being a member of a Union and working a part time side job for a Non Union company is not OK in any way shape or form. Your coworkers are scabs until they're under contract, same as the FedEx driver or any other motherfucker loading, unloading or driving for a NonUnion company. They are taking Union Jobs from Union men. If it werent for their willingness to scab there would not even be a job for a POS like you who will turn his back on the brotherhood for personal gain. You are the worst kind of scab - one that does the work and blames the Greatest Union in the History of the World for it not being Union.

You're still worshipping at the shrine of the punk demented tyrant "PeeWee the Senile" and cant understand what it means to be a Union MAN in todays world. The false claims you cast upon todays admin are the very things your idol mastered for 40 years. Oppression? Eliminating opposition? PeeWee wrote the book. You have become a laughingstock with 8 years of the feds are coming. You are nothing more than a freakin' crackpot that nobody takes seriously. Just shut up already, you're a proven LIAR and a known SCAB, get a fuckin' life away from your keyboard - it aint doing you any good.

dude, the rest of that post can be posted if you like, It doesn't change the fact that you are calling all non-union workers scabs and in particular, you call those working at UPS Freight scabs. That should play out well when we try to organize these barns. And as I stated, I'm thankful that the APWA has lost this election, but with your big mouth, I don't see where the IBT will fare much better.

Did you say "WE"? Like in "when WE try to organize"? What are YOU going to do other than tell them the feds are coming?

Accredited. Sounds so 'Official'. Almost as if you knew what you were talking about. The correct term is 'Licensed'. Now, I'm wondering why you would want to 'get me in trouble' with one of our better clients? Wasnt it just last week you were going to sue the company I work for? Didnt you say you had a personal interest in helping us fatten up the bottom line because you were going to sue us and become part owner? You said you were going to change our name even - that 'zabiewear' had a nice ring to it. You still aint got nothin' do ya? Punk'd and nothing will ever be done.......................own3d........
