As you can see, this website is sending out mass e-mails, that contain lies and asking for donations to defeat all USPS Unions and Management Associations. This is why our Unions seek money to fight those who are attacking us. This is not about a solution, it is about taking away your wages, benefits, no lay-off clauses and your collective bargaining rights, while harming the public by degrading service standards by closing stations, branches, and processing facilities. http://saaal-apwu.org/News_Flash11/7-26-FMLA_Contact_info.pdf http://saaal-apwu.org/News_Flash11/7-26-FMLA_Contact_info.pdf Tue, 6 Sep 2011 12:55:00 CST New FMLA Contact Information http://saaal-apwu.org/News_Flash11/7-25-Sept_GMM_Notice.pdf http://saaal-apwu.org/News_Flash11/7-25-Sept_GMM_Notice.pdf Tue, 6 Sep 2011 12:50:00 CST September General Membership Meeting Notice with a $400 Door Prize.
