Go For It

As we wind down the last few hours of this election we will finally be able to move forward.

This election has highlighted the GIANT divide that still exists within APFA and its membership. There is one side that has vowed to protect and improve the current state of APFA and another side that has said any/everything is on the table.

Regardless of the outcome of today’s election I am confident that APFA is still a strong and viable union and that the internal strife that is purposely trying to destroy APFA will fail.

When I first got wind of the nominations I was unsure if I wanted to get dragged through the Facebook mud slinging that a MINORITY faction with an agenda have dreamed up. But as the election evolved and I spoke with more APFA members it became very evident that with the right leadership in place APFA could withstand the internal destruction already in place. And that helped fuel me to accept the nominations and run for National Treasurer. And no matter what the outcome is I will NEVER regret that decision.

I did this for APFA.

I did this for YOU.

As I have stated since the beginning, I just don’t care what the “haters” say or write or gossip. It’s more telling about them than anything else. The irony is you will NEVER see their names on a ballot. They could NEVER survive an election where they had to actually put themselves out there. They will NEVER be able to step up and make the personal sacrifices that going through an election require!

Let’s get across the finish line today with a win and a new approach that puts YOU first!

Thank you for all your support!

It has been very humbling.

In unity,

Rick

Last Day Eligible to Vote: APFA National Officer Run-Off Election

Unions exist for a reason.

They fight for workers rights and they are tasked with making the work place a better place for their members.

No doubt APFA needed a win and today APFA scored a big win!

APFA challenged the company on its draconian and punitive sick policy and after a lengthy arbitration the arbitration board agreed with APFA and ordered MAJOR changes to company’s sick policy.

Labor doesn’t score many wins in today’s political climate but today was a WIN for organized labor!

Kudos to the entire team headed by Vice President Liz Geiss and her Regional Reps for a hard fought and well earned victory for APFA members!
