What's the point?? I'm not changing your mind and your not changing mine. You and yours make me even more happy to welcome in new members to teamcare.

Yes, but you will have to go back to the years 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997!! Probably about Ron Carey putting into trusteeship over 80 corrupt locals or when he got rid of the wasteful Conferences or the multiple salaries. I bet they cheered when he sold the jet planes and the condos. Or maybe when he cut his own salary. Possibly even during the successful strike against UPS in 1997!! Since 1998, we havent had much to cheer about. How can you cheer about timid leadership ?? The Hoffa years can be described as "Talk tough but be complacent". TDU cheers individual locals that stand up for their members and stand up to management.

Did they forget to cheer when he was removed from office. Oh they forgot that because they supported him. Did they cheer for Sandy when she ran for office and her pension fund was going broke. Do they cheer for Fred when he is going to battle only for politics but is leaving other members out of the fight except the air hub.

Yes. They weighed in on the Consent Decree and gave us all the opportunity to vote for our General President. In doing so, they helped rid our Union of people like Matthew "Matty The Horse" Ianello, Anthony "Tony Pro" Provanzano and many other similarly nicknamed characters who brought discredit to a Union that had made a difference in the lives of working men and women throughout our country.
They want a secret mail in ballot for the union but not their anti union organization.
 
What the HELL, happened to this thread?? It was supposed to be about 250 of our union brothers and sisters, walking out. Now its a stinking TDU and Hoffa thread!....Lets show some support for our friends (brothers) at 804....Even I couldn't derail this thread, this bad!

Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
Never stopped
You are not supporting them by constantly slamming their Local's leadership.
This walkout happened Feb 26th, and last I have heard, all the drivers are still working.
Somebody must be fighting hard for them or at least some of them would be gone by now.

We all know TDU fuels the fire for wanna-be stewards, locker room lawyers and fist pumpers. The problem is these people are looking for action NOW but TDU fails to illustrate that winning large battles or legalities is a slow grind of the mind. Most of the TDU issues are like a story with no context and confuse drivers with a display of socialistic propaganda when every local has their own sovereignty or rules. (That being said you get what you deserve whether or not you keep voting NO or sign a petition). The fact is the Local takes the burden of getting drivers their job reinstated with back pay for a righteous wrongful termination, not the drivers. I mean who gives :censored2: if an E-Board is in the 150,000 dollar club as long as they don't put members on the streets right?. I truly feel for these drivers especially when they were just following the leadership's interpretation of the contract language. In my opinion TDU can only hope they pull off getting these guys cleared as well as something for the No votes that are left on the table.
(If not we all know they will blame Hoffa and Hall...........)
