Union Politics - The local 25 Boston bullies are in the news again!

I have expressed my gratitude to the Teamster's Union many times and I mean that sincerely.
Management would not get the compensation they make except for the efforts of the Teamsters.
I have said that many times.

I like and respect Jimmy Jr. myself but there is a concerted effort of this site to censor and squash free discussion related to the Teamster Union. As an American, I find that repulsive and disconcerting.
I am disconcerted.

There is a member on here trying to shut down Brown Cafe because other members are allowed to openly discuss Teamster issues.
(Try typing in H and see the results ... that is a result of extortion)

That is repulsive to me as an American.

I can't believe those toilet pics too!!!

Not one brand of toilet was Union made or even made in America!!!

That's CRAP.

Not one pic with the big union bug label on it.
What about that @Bubblehead?

You forgot Jimmy Carter. He didn't help anybody.

He got his brother out of jail. Billy Bob never could find a restroom.

I certainly don't don't hate Teamsters. It is the Teamster negotiated wages, pension and healthcare that I enjoy now as a management retiree. UPS would not give those to management unless the drivers enjoyed them.
I do hate thugs and people others that try and squash open discussions of ideas.

Corporate UPS really likes and supports Jimmy Hohofboy Jr.
He is a rational person with a good understanding of the Global economy and the US American business climate.
Unlike his predecessor whom you seem to emulate.

I find it funny that I replied within th tos to your post and you won't post it. Don't reply to my posts if you can won't let me reply.

You were like a death camp guard for teamsters. You were corporate. You probably had so many instances where you fired teamsters or had a hand in their demise.

Didn't happen. Just like on Wednesday when you messaged me that you had reported a post which you had never reported. All reports and mod actions are logged. Nice try though.

I was under the impression that we were all TEAMSTERS Here... We preach about brotherhood/sisterhood, being united, and all that good stuff. But yet when another Teamster has a public issue good, bad, or indifferent we forget that we are all brothers/sisters. We thrive on others mistakes, (whatever they maybe) its like your waiting in the wings to pounce. The justice system will handle this for L25 We were not there, We have no idea what really happen, what we do is accuse before a fair trial. These people have families, children that will suffer the aftermath, They are not Thugs, thier crime is, they tried to get work for members, members that needed a pay check as you and I get everyweek my understanding is, this industy is tuff for work so: non- union people were doing union work. Now, if all that is written is true (newspapers) then im sure there was a different way of going about it. Im not saying they are innocent here, but Im not going to accuse and call names of men Ive never met. We have a job as a Teamster member to stand united..As an officer they stand for US. If thier crime is standing for union jobs to be worked by union members and you still want to pounce then reevaluate yourself as a Teamster!!!

I worry about myself first.

Democrats haven't done anything, see all my posts recently. Last 2 Democratic presidents let jobs go overseas. Republican presidents lined the pockets of corporations, billionaires, and the stock market at the expense of the non-union blue collar worker while trying to bust the unions. They've all been terrible for the worker since 1980.

Yes the last 2 corporate dems have both pushed "free" trade deals which hurts working people in this country but helps the investor class. The only big difference on the economy between the two wings of the same corporate beast is how the dems allow the NLRB to work and the repubs do not.
The only was to correct the dem party is to nominate Sanders!!

Very misunderstood presidency. In some ways he was way ahead of us: he emphasized alternative energy and he emphasized human rights.
But anyway for all you craft brew lovers, Carter de-regulated the beer industry which allowed the creation of such small breweries and craft beers!!

Guess he did something right. I guess all those 18% mortgages during his presidency helped pay for it!

In truth Fed chairman Volcker raised those interest rates in order to get inflation down, which eventually occurred.

In fairness to Carter. They also changed how that calculate inflation .

I love how everyone avoided this. People are afraid of truth.

I wonder how many scab operations we've broken up , or forced to use union labor, or pay prevailing wage by using a kinder gentler approach: "Good day sir, certainly is fantastic weather we're having isn't it?. My name is Reginald J Hardworker and I'm from the local Union establishment in this area. Me and my fellow unionist were wondering if you would be so kind as to employ our unionized tradesman in the workers of your fine scab operation?. Whats that? You've already hired all the workers you need? Oh well then, I'm very sorry to have interrupted your day. Carry on then, we'll be in our way now".
Yes....I'm sure that's how we've won most of our labor battles over the last 100 years.

The difference is 100 years ago management was using thugs to bust unions.
Local 25 is not going to win friends by being homophobic and misogynistic.

 

[The Blackadder]

To be honest, I don't know too much about Carter. His presidency seemed to be one of nothing being done for anything from what little I know. Kind of a placeholder almost.

Jimmy Carter did more deregulation as president than any other president.

Now they use politicians. This isn't a reflection of the thousands of members but of a few.

You say this as fact, yet you don't present any to support your claim.

There are thousands of members, only 5 were detained. Read the article.

Your way became socially and politically unacceptable 20 years ago ... about the time they passed the RICO Act.

5 too many.
100 tractor trailer units blow past the weight scales when they are open and they only catch five.
The rest are not guilty by your analogy.

"Dope"?
Nice.
