Are you really a Teamster?Where were all these crafts during the biggest strike to the majority members of the Teamsters in 1997? You say these things as if we all need to drop what we are doing and go walk a line. First off we take care of home first, we don't provide other crafts businesses during a strike. We don't cross picket lines, the BA's and there crafts are the fight. You are a bozoo if you think any different. That's why you have organizers to bring in people who are affiliated or in area. So, as a teamster you think I should fly to any spot that is on strike to show my solidarity!!!!! Again, there fight is my fight, but I can only respect their issue and talk to those I know in that craft. I guess you have more time on your hands sitting on this page to bag on something you want to happen. As far as your comment,"he's done", means you are already loosing. Instead of working together which is your agenda, you are tearing down the same structure you want to achieve. You have obviously never been on strike, walked your own picket line and had to wonder what you would have to do if your craft shut down. Talk the talk, you are a poser. You have friends, I have more.
To all the real Teamsters reading this thread, This is the mentality that 952 brings to it's members! This is exactly why we need change in our leadership!
Cowboy if you really cared about our organization, if you really care about your contract and want to continue to enjoy what you have then walking lines, getting involved in fights for workers, taking on fights that don't involve your craft is what you need to do. This post only tells me that all you care about is your craft and the hell with everyone else. Your no real Teamster, your just a card holder..
I walked your line in 1997, I've walked many lines that aren't in my craft and even my own line.. Cowboy your EVERYTHING that needs to change in our local .. Keep posting stupidity, your making a real impact!
