Mr. Chapman has successfully fought both the Teamsters and UPS for the return of thirty-five (35) million dollars in retirement funds diverted from and/or denied to retirees. It was UPS' and the Teamsters' "business unionism" that denied such funds and "revolutionary unionism" that returned those funds. From many a retiree comes a hearty, "Thank-you Doug."
