General President's health failing?

[Inthegame]

Thanks for that fabulous insight. The whole time, I was thinking this was the real world. Lol!

We've noticed.

 

[realbrown1]

We've noticed.

Is that the royal WE, or are there 2 of you?

 

[Irishman Collins]

You're confusing confidence with arrogance.


I know where I've been, and what I've done.

Dedication, doesn't come without a price. Both personally, and professionally.


"Some" of us do it for the benefit of the members, and all the right reasons.


It's easy to identify.... who the opportunist are.

I have a feeling BUG, that you are part of the antiquated, old guard system, that the members have fallen victim to. Since some of our leaders still think we are living in times of muscle or bravado and not in times of intelligence and out thinking our nemesis "UPS". It is time for the old guard to step away and let the times change for the betterment of all Teamster members.

I have a feeling IC, that you are living in a delusional world of social media.


Since most of the newbies assume (that don't have any muscle or bravado) "out thinking"

our nemesis UPS, is more of a "pipe dream", than it is reality.


It's time for the millennial's (and associated duffus) to put down the phone....

And actually do something.


Stop embarrassing us.

Gotta hate having to be "transparent"?

I'm afraid the wagons may be "uncircling".

Is "duffus" plural?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Is "duffus" plural?

Would that be duffus's, duffeses or duffi?

 

[10 point]

Would that be duffus's, duffeses or duffi?

I'm not sure if that's Latin.
Could be duffae.

Duffus's is possessive.
Duffus could be plural.
Where's Major English when you need him?

Is it any wonder....

Why the company "pimp slaps" you guys ?


They own you.

And, they know it.


On the other hand;

"Real" Teamsters, get the job done on your behalf.


But, you whine.... all the while.

Pfft.

I have done and am doing more than you can imagine. The only difference between you and I, is that I stand up for the members and you stand up for the Union "Old Guard Establishment". You, and others like you, are scared to lose your cushy, do nothing, travel the country jobs.
If I had to guess, you intend on supporting, taking away the members vote and allowing the delegates to decide the General Presidency, just like the old days. Am I right?

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Pig Boy....

Is off on a drunken rant.

Trying to spank Bubble.


OMG.

How about answering the question? Do you think it is ok to let delegates decide who the General President will be, in lieu of a populace vote?

"Pimp slaps"?
I like you -Bug-. You're funny.
It was just a joke so don't be agitated.

But I've never been pimp slapped in my life.
Been sucker punched and it only made me mad.
You have a good weekend -Bug-.
Pimp slapped.
Bahahahahahahaha.
Good one -Bug-. Thx

 

[623 TRUTHER]

"Real Teamsters"?

Are they the ones that let people get fired by not entering all the evidence at hand into the local or panel hearings...."because corporate wants them gone"?

Are they the ones that argue to allow supervisors to work (drive) ahead of hourly in a local hearing?

Are those the Teamsters that you consider "real"....your heroes?

Help me out -Bug-.

His heroes are the status quo! He is afraid of change because change means no more free rides and hanging with UPS management in vacation destinations.

Glad I could make you laugh.

I'll be truthful.... apathy in the membership, does agitate me. Big time.

It's probably unfair to characterize all UPS people like that.

I can't comment on your Local experiences without knowing the details.

But.... that's what the ballot box is for.

If your Local leaders keep getting re-elected, they must be doing something right.

Hanging with UPS management in vacation destinations ? That's rich.

I wouldn't call Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Denver, St. Louis, exactly vacation spots.


FZ and his cronies, never complained about the destinations of some of the Panels.

In fact... once they are outside the (50 mile radius) of their Local, they put everything

on their Local Union issued credit card.


Even for a cup of coffee. And their allotment of 2 cocktails per day.

Actually, I didn't take the pimp slap comment personal because it isn't relevant to me or our members here.
We've been fighting the fight here for the last several years because stewards here have courage. I don't believe you meant it personal anyway. So I chuckled, knowing the real state of our members here. They have got backbone. I appreciate them. They're my family.

The "real Teamsters" comments weren't just about one local. A few on here understand the semantics of what I posted.

And yes sir...
I believe the ballot box will be a great thing.

Ft . Lauderdale, St . Petersburg, San Diego, Las Vegas, Chicago, Washington DC and Boston. All seem like prime vacation spots to me.

I getting the idea that you would cry and complain no matter what the venue is
