Candidate Endorsements from APWU Greenville, NC Local President

Posted on by 21cpw User Post

The elections are upon us and after much time of reflection and meditation and prayer, I have chosen to endorse the below candidates for office. Although I typically wouldn’t speak out publicly, I have received many requests from locals and members who may not know or have a working relationship with these candidates. We believe that the leadership by these candidates can help bring normalcy and leadership back to our Union. These are my personal choices and not to confused as endorsements from my local, but as a guide by the dozens of members asking outside my local.

    Let me first say thank you for your dedication to the APWU and taking interest in our National Elections. I respect your choices and the candidates that you have endorsed. But I question exactly what normalcy and leadership you are referring to in regards to the Maintenance Craft. The Houston Area Local has a large number of grievances still waiting on Step 3 meetings. Some go as far back as 2014. This is not normal to me especially when our CBA states that “The Step 3 meeting of the parties’ representatives to discuss the grievance shall be held within fifteen (15) days after it has been appealed to Step 3.” I am certain that Houston is not the local dealing with this situation. Our incumbent maintenance NBAs in the Southern Region have been in office for 9 years and the other 4 ½ years and they have failed to bring any type of normalcy or leadership back. So, I ask the question how long does it take for this change to take place. Or do you expect that for some reason a light may come on and they suddenly realize they need to do in the next 3 years what they had up to 9 years to do. As a custodian, steward, and someone familiar with the Line H MOU I know for a fact that our NBA’s are not fighting for the automatic remedy portion which is rightfully ours and I have had enough. Something has to change!
