Website loaded for me. Don't know anything about them, but their logo kind of reminds me of communist logos. Sic Semper Tyrannis If you beat your swords into plowshares, you will become farmers for those who didn't! Political Correctness is fascism pretending to be Manners-George Carlin | |||

What does your peers say about this union? Are there other unions capable of representing you? There are both positives and negatives to joining any union. Getting shot is no achievement. Hitting your enemy is. NRA Endowment Member . NRA instructor | |||

Looking through their website, I found this: Does the SPFPA belong to the AFL-CIO? No. Under Section 9(b) 3 of the National Labor Relations Act, the law clearly states a labor organization is prohibited from being certified by the NLRB if, in fact, the labor organization seeking to represent such guards, admits non-guards into its membership and/or is affiliated directly or indirectly with a AFL-CIO Union. Because of this law the SPFPA is prohibited from belonging to the AFL-CIO. However we have a great working relationship and much support from many AFL-CIO Unions including the United Steel Workers of America (USWA) AFL-CIO, CLC, the International Association of Machinist and Aerospace Workers, (IAM) The SEIU, United Auto Workers, Carpenters, HERE and Teamsters just to name a few.

I make that to be a total misappropriation of $390,971.76. That's a lot of money stolen by the union big-wigs. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
