[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5045227, member: 49065"] The real honest answer is that our leadership has lost touch with the members. Most see it as a waste of time to vote for anything, the old timers have just given up on any positive change because they have seen how the system works. They see a disconnected international playing their usual reindeer games dreaming of past glory who are about 60 years behind the times. The part timers for the most part are non involved and consistently will never vote. Just look at these teamster conventions when they were allowed to attend..What do you see, generally middle aged white fat guys acting like fools, patting themselves in their backs for being as they call it “a real teamster “. They forgot long time ago who really pays their salaries. This last UPS contract was the last straw force, Hoffa had to retire, that was set into motion with the 2013 Contract and the 2016 Election. Hoffa barely won ... nearly being beaten by a rag tag TDU slate that lost their original Presidential candidate from the get go, Zuckerman had to lead the ticket. This election will be the turning point for our Union, we are living in strange times. This pandemic will fuel more demands from the rank and file and the American workforce, we are getting tired of the poor voter turn out being used as a piss poor excuse to force subpar contracts when the vast majority of the senior members keep voting them down.
