Metro Detroit will get some NorCal language included in our Rider/supplement. Hopefully, some of the other rejected supplements can add NorCal language as well.
It is appalling that the other supplements were forced thru this time. Last contract, all supplements that were voted down were able to gain improvements.
Taylor/Hoffa did not follow the Teamster Constitution when they declared those supplements ratified.
I will, at all times, act solely in the interests of our members, devote the resources of our Union to furthering their needs and goals, work to maintain a Union that is free of corruption, to preserve and strengthen democratic principles in our Union, and to protect the members’ interests in all dealings with employers. I will never forget that it is the members who put me here, and it is the members whom I will serve.
How does forcing supplements thru fulfill the Teamsters responsibity to protect the members?
They only selectively follow the constitution.
