Please note everyone: Danny is the one who keeps starting all the lawsuits, thus wasting everyone's (read OUR)  money and time.  He appears to be very anti-union because he is supported by anti-union groups
I am uneasy with anything that he says mostly because he would have made an excellent politician (this is NOT a compliment), so I suggest that you get a large amount of salt and add it to anything that he says...

The APA Executive Board's antics and the looming 11% dues increase are old
news. Check out <www.apawatchgroup.org>. These people have been raising the
alarm for more than 18 months, including the fact that the APA Union will go
broke if the Board continued to deduct extra money to pay for everyone's
dues supplements, MEA office space rental, and all of the Board members'
dues. The 1-day notice for Dues discussions is absurd and the 1-week notice
about the Annual Membership Meeting is not only ludicrous, but it also
violates the Union's Constitution & Bylaws. This is especially true since
there are MANY MANY APA Union members who did not get the latest newsletter
or receive any notification about the scheduled Annual Meeting. The
Constitution & Bylaws also require a 30-day notice for the annal membership
meeting (ARTICLE II: Meetings Section 1. A general membership meeting of the
Association shall be conducted in the fall of each year. The specific date,
time and location shall be designated by the Executive Board and
communicated to the membership at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to
the meeting.) Remember, though... the Union Constitution & Bylaws say
MEMBERS ARE IN CHARGE OF THE ANNUAL MEETING, NOT THE BOARD (ARTICLE IV:
Officers and Executive Board Section 1. The Executive Board shall be the
governing body of the Association except when meetings of the membership are
in session).
