Do you approve of Taylor using this clause of the IBT constitution?

No quote at all in that "article".
Sure would like to hear what he said....

I hate to agree but you're absolutely on the money. This would be bigger than the Teamsters. This would have enormous ramifications for the entire American labor movement.

Why should any member be forced to pay dues when their voice does not matter.....that would be my argument.


One of the most powerful and biggest unions in the private sector telling its members tough .


Yeah uhhhh that's not great for labor.

Hey buddy, why did DT say he was going to impose contract at national grievance panel on Wednesday? You said no way they would do that. The company pushing everyone to vote is going to backfire. One more day, we got this brothers and sisters, even the corrupt leadership can’t stop us now.

I'm confused...didn't get a ballot, called my local today, they say that it's only Freight and Cartage? So I don't vote yet? How do I vote on the National?

Apathy?? Boy, if they impose the contract, you will then see Apathy. In RTW states, it would be a disaster

Not a direct quote, but a response from Zuckerman: http://teamsters89.com/docs/zuckermanlettertohoffa100418.pdf

Thanks a lot Canada

Nothing much happened last contract when the IBT imposed that agreement.

3 supplements that cover a few thousand doesn’t compare to a master agreement that covers 300,000

It’s going to suck that my vote means nothing. But if this 8.5 hour day was part of the deal then I can live with it.

Wait a minute. Who told you and why did you believe we would be forced to go back to the table? The IBT constitution is the rules and now your upset? Apathy sucks but take some ownership there is nobody to blame but the members.

I asked you a question that you then turned around as a reason to blame the members instead of answering.

I thought for a second that I might just disagree with you on the TA. But the fact that you're appearing to support an obscure part of the IBT constitution that hasn't been used in over 40 years shows your disdain for rank and file democracy.

Holy Crap I told you guys this was a possibility and now your crying about it. All you guys said was it will be well over 50% voting no. Well you guys were wrong. Don’t attack me when I tried to warn you. It’s called apathy.

 

[Elmo.goes.to.prom]

Elmo is a turd

I am aware

 

[LagunaBrown]

No I did, long before you picked up on it.

We talk about this every contract. It’s always a possibility that is brought up.

Talk about apathy I doubt future voting numbers would get over 10%. No reason to vote when you've been told your vote doesn't matter anyway.

I warned you. You guys were so over confident.
