ASSOCIATION OF PARCEL WORKERS OF AMERICA
STAND TALL NOW

REASON FOR FORMING THE ASSOCIATION

The Association of Parcel Workers of America is an organization consisting of employees currently represented by the Teamsters union at UPS facilities throughout the United States, whose pensions are now only a fraction of what had been promised and whose other benefits under the Teamsters contract are less than what they had expected and less than that to which they should be entitled. Our organization is composed of UPS employees who believe they have been misled and who are being seriously short-changed in their pension entitlements and other benefits, and who are determined to do something to correct this situation. All hourly employees of any UPS owned company are eligible to join the APWA

The Association of Parcel Workers of America is a legal entity incorporated in the State of Delaware and our principal place of business is in North Carolina. Our Association is now a reality. This organization can and will, with your help, turn our lives around.

GOALS OF THE ASSOCIATION

Our new membership is composed of UPS employees who believe they have been treated unfairly and are determined to do something about it. Let's face it, our Teamster pensions are a mess. We all know there is no way to fix the Central States Plan, and most, if not all, the other Teamster-sponsored plans. Some are content to see their hard-earned pensions shrivel away to nothing and throw good money after bad in the future. We believe that the vast majority of Teamster-represented employees would jump at the chance to correct their pension woes, if only there was a way.

To correct the injustices and hardships created by these mismanaged Teamsters funds will not be easy, but there is a way. It will be a long and difficult journey and the founders of the Association cannot do this alone. We need your help and support. Our goal is to have our Association ultimately replace the Teamsters union as our bargaining representative, so that we can negotiate a contract that will protect our interests and obtain what we have rightfully earned through over many years of loyal and dedicated service. To fix the pension situation, there must be new representation. It's as simple as that. However, new representation based on integrity, fairness and justice is now available. We are confident that through hard work and uniting together to attain our common goals, replacement of Teamsters by the Association can and will be accomplished.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

We will need your help and support. Please consider becoming a member of our Association by paying a one time initiation/membership fee of $150.00. This will give us the much needed resources to expand our membership to the point where we can request the NLRB to conduct a secret ballot election to determine whether you want more of the same under the Teamsters, or whether you want to make a fresh start with our organization. The Choice Is Up To You!

Please read carefully the rest of the information contained on this website. We are convinced that when you look at the facts, you will agree with us, that the Teamsters need to be replaced and that our Association can do a far better job of representing and protecting your interests than the Teamsters ever have.
