[QUOTE="LagunaBrown, post: 2028495, member: 29765"] [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/242wuar.jpg[/IMG] You telling people that a good leader needs to strike is just dumb. Try using your brain to analyze the effect of your fist pumping TDU mentality on the members. Every time a contract comes up I talk to guys about a "Vacation Fund" that matures when the contract is up. 5 people have done it in 11 years.............. What makes you so sure everyone will be prepared? Most people will be pumped to strike up until Momma realizes you got no money coming in and things change quick. You need to remember it's not 1997 and a strike needs to be well planned. Carey rolled the dice going on strike with little to no money in the strike fund and he won. That may not be the scenario next time and who wants to put Teamsters on the streets because of a dumb move. Strikes are an important part of leverage but always a last resort. [/QUOTE]
