I\u2019m a dues paying Retiree Member of the APWU, but not a full dues paying Retiree. I tried to be a full dues paying Retiree when I retired more than 10 years ago but got no cooperation from APWU National or my APWU Local. I guess they didn’t need or want my money.<\/p>\n

So I was shocked to receive this email (see below). I should not be receiving a ballot unless I undergo an appeal process as outlined in Article 3, Section 4d of the Constitution. This requirement can\u2019t be simply overridden with a new 1187. Again, I am currently not entitled to a ballot, right?<\/p>\n

If this is some sort of official organizing campaign, it seems to be an underhanded way of bilking $36\/yr dues paying Retiree members out of more money and possibly violates the APWU Constitution – and if it’s not legit, it\u2019s a serious flaw that could put the entire ratification voting process in jeopardy.\u00a0 Either way, both scenarios should be unacceptable to the rank and file.<\/p>\n

Unless I missed something? Please, can anyone out there explain this to me?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
