Hey kid don't back talk your elders.
You will be taught respect
Fact
Dear Teamster brother,
Many of us understand your feelings about the last CBA. You have a right to be angry about it. Try to understand that many others on here got better health coverage with TeamCare than they had prior to 2013. Try to understand that they appreciate what enhancement they got and support the IBT officers who negotiated that change.
Not that I don't rant at times about things that I hate in our local but when you (constantly) keep stepping on your brother's toes on here who were paying more for healthcare it isn't helping your credibility.
You won't change anyone's mind by calling them "Roosters" and "slugs".
I realize this is all just preamble to 2018's CBA negotiations. I got that. All you're doing imo is stirring a hornet's nest.
Fight your fight because many are in agreement with your same sticking points as you can see in the last Gen Election results but do it with the understanding that others who do the same job as you (or harder work) got bettered the last 4 yrs and that they are as much of a part of Teamsters strength as you are.
We don't have to be freaks to gain attention and respectful actions bring results you can respect.
