Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
When did Hoffa run TDU? I didn't know that.
Stop the lies. Ken P was a freight driver from local 407. He left his job voluntarily to work for full time for TDU. Those were in the really bad old days before we had elections. It was his organization that pushed for years for elections. Multiple salaries?? That is a lie.
The entire TDU leadership (the steering committee) including paff's position, national organizer, is ELECTED at the annual TDU convention BY ITS MEMBERS who attend. All tdu members can attend and vote.Also, any tdu member has THE RIGHT to see the group's financial report. A matter of fact we go over line by line the finances and salaries of the organization. Paff and other staff members make less than a ups driver does!!Also, tdu does not get a dime from ANY employer or pro-employer source. However we all know that hoffa's campaigns over the years have, but I digress.
As for tdu and trf's annual budget, it is about $500,000. TDU is entirely funded by its members (read: TEAMSTERS).TRF is funded by donations from teamsters, other union members and a small number of pro-labor foundations.
As for paff or others doing this for the money, lol. Ive seen the detroit office and the brooklyn office. Both places share a very tiny space with other organizations. Its about the size of a medium- sized closet in the marble palace!!
So it seems your fiction about TDU is all made up. Must be because your sources "Stink"!!
Yes I can read wikipedia too. So your saying that the year he drove truck 1974 and left and has not spent a dime in dues since, classifies him as a teamster?
Your telling me the Paff's position is elected? Even though I know for a fact that's not true, his election takes place at the convention?
Your also saying that Paff's salary is less than 80k a year and does not get a dime from other TDU sources?
Your also saying TDU doesn't collect funds from grants from any other companies including those associated with RTW?
Your also saying TDU finances are available to see even though they were given a court order not divulge when they were taken to court over the finances and their allocations?
This is what your saying is fact?
Yes or No will be fine. I just want to see if your going to sell us on cool aid or outright lie to our faces.

lemmings.
We broke away from the lemmings. As to "stink", what I posted were called facts. You might like those facts because for so long you believed the fiction you were handed. Let me guess everyone YOU spoke to said the same thing about tdu!! That my friend is called being a lemming. Why dont you attend this year's convention and see for yourself. Come and "stink" up the place, lol.
Still waiting for you to answer my questions. I know a few peeps that attend your cult ritual convention. Trust me, they are not on your side. Don't assume everyone that's there is on your side. Next time, look around, the guy next to you might be one of ours. Do you think your not bring closely watched? Still waiting for your answer........
I cannot "answer your question" because it is so difficult to type while looking over one's shoulder and "closely watched" LOL!!

You would have thought so after the first March 28th teamster press release. But who knows now? Both press releases on March 28th don't actually give alot of information.
I guess Hall and Hoffa want to keep the BROWNOUT going as long as possible.

The Union is taking two weeks to study the proposal.
Both sides meet again starting on the 8th.
Yes. I know all that. I know 3 peeps on the National. UPS fears Obamacare. As for time line, I say the longer we wait the better. Notice UPS stock recently? Isn't it considered insider trading if your directly related to decisions that affect the stock that you hold?

it don't matter both suck teamsters or teamster democratic union
Happy for you that you received every raise in wages. Here in 959, we did NOT receive ALL our raises because our vote was overridden when it didn't go the way that the Health & Welfare Trust wanted it to go.
Personally, I voted for half the wage increase to be diverted but I was in the 40ish% minority and then the results of the vote mandated in our Local rider were nullified. Oddly, I seem more betrayed than the 60ish% majority that had their vote overridden.
The silver lining is that Local 959 is switching from Hours to Dollars (a whole other discussion) for Health & Welfare so UPS Teamsters (and UPS) in the plan will start getting a fairer shake (depends on your view of fair I suppose) and H&W should be more sustainable in the long run once the dust settles.
