Ok, pet detective was pretty good too.

Yeah! But I thought Ron's best role was in MASK. He was SMOKIN!

I don't know why some (bbag) always have to post even when they have no clue!
Ron Carey stood up for the members and understood what our job detailed. Ron while he may not have been liked by some on this site and in life, cared about everyone of us when he was the president of the I.B.T.
When Ron ran the teamsters he did what a teamster rep should, represent the members! He understood that he worked for us and his job was to look out for our best interests. Something that has been ignored since his departure from this once great union.
Ron lead the biggest labor movement in 97 and put power back in to the unions hands. How many ptimers are now full time (22.3) because of Ron? Thank you for everything Ron.
Ron i wish you all the best in the after life and my families prayers are with your family and other teamster families who feel your loss.

I will not speak ill of the dead.
May his soul rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon him.

Show some respect for Ron and get your 45 years old preloader ass out of here...........btw if it wasn't for guys like him, you would not even have your "great benefits"
Agreed
I second that motion....
As much as he is hated by the "Old Guard" Teamsters that let corruption run rampant, Carey did bring some reform to the IBT. At least we finally got to vote for the national officers.

I've made my points about the ways i disagreed with Ron Carey in the past. now is not the time to do so.
My euology from the opposite side might make the following points:
He was a worthy oponent who I agree did much to bring reform and democracy to the teamsters. As a tactician I have to give him credit for always being one and sometimes two steps ahead of ups during the 97 strike. while I disagreed with many of the points he made as the leader of the teamsters I have to agree that he fought for what he believed in with passion. I would also point out that as a leader he was second to none.

I agree totally.....
Sometimes people seem to
amaze me. Maybe this is the reason why I rarely visit these boards like the way I used to.

Maybe if some people wont take time to educate themselves they can at least click on the link and see what kind of man Ron was and how great of a leader he was.
