Has TDU head David Levin ever been a rank-and-file Teamster?

[Thebrownblob]

Well if you haven't heard of him he must not exist! Lol.

He probably exist. He’s just not important.

I wouldn’t say fat just big boned. My name is Blob after all, I’m a little sensitive.

Up this way they are fat slobs. Eating machines!

Truth be told unfortunately, the lifestyle of a business agent tends to lead towards eating out a lot and that is horrible for your health. It takes discipline and desire to not blow up like a balloon.

The sirloin is hit or miss. The chocolate fountain is what the senior BAs are really there for. Kiddie fingers in it and all.

Keep going, then. Anytime I ask anyone who is vehemently against TDU why they are, I can’t get a real answer out of them. Just a lot of cursing and head shaking.

I have dealt with some people from TDU and I have met David Levin, and shook his hand. I see them making an effort to educate members in our local of their rights and making a strong effort to organize UPSers.

But I always like to hear both sides, because sometimes things aren’t really as they seem. So if you have more arguments against TDU, I am open to hear them.

I won't pretend to know the whole history of TDU, let alone vouch for all of it. I have heard a few legitimate complaints. Many of their free online resources are powerful tools for Teamsters, e.g., the OJS checklist.

I think plenty of animosity toward TDU is due to disagreements re: the aims/goals of the union. Generally TDU promotes militancy and rank and file driven unions. Obviously there are many Teamster officers and more than a few rank and file members who are opposed to such things.

He was never a member of the rank and file. He is an activist who was brought on by Ken P. He also has other business interests affiliated with the democratic socialist party. I believe he is a paid consultant for the socialist party.

The Democrats Socialist of America are not the Socialist Party. They are two different parties.

What’s your beef with TDU? Just curious

I have no beef with TDU. But even within TDU he is disliked. There are much better people to lead them, especially real Teamsters.

At this point.... I would like to introduce you to @Bubblehead

He can explain how the whole PayPal thing works.

But if Ken P wasn’t really a teamster and Dave levin was never a teamster don’t you think that someone who has never been a teamster should be leading this type of organization?
