Did you eat lots of fried cheese? How much of that do you think you could eat? You ever watch that Nathan's hot dog eating contest?

Did he do that, on his "own time and dime" ?
If he didn't.... that could be a problem.

From news reports to magazine covers I've seen hundreds of teamsters and several BA's and PO's in Wisconsin,..... wonder if they went on their own
"time and dime"
Sponge,
Could be, but it shouldn't, and I can't help but wonder if this would be an issue if Sylvester wasn't running for GP? I know I saw Hoffa's pic in Madison, and Ohio, and California...
I'm sure the GP has the right (and responsibility) to travel wherever labor issues arise on the Teamsters dime. Our locals guys were (as I suspect yours were) asked to join union busting protests in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana, and many did. Should those activities all be on their "own time and dime"?
I think any Teamster leader should be allowed to support other Teamsters being attacked and the costs incurred should be covered by their locals treasury as it definitely has a union purpose. Now whether a protest march qualifies as aiding the union cause or having a bona fide union purpose I'll leave to the brighter posters for discussion, if we can tear ourselves away from the hot topic of Sylvester's diet.

It's (really) an IBT constitutional requirement.
If it is "sanctioned" by the IBT (and requested).... any (reasonable) expenses are allowed.
As long as there is a "documented purpose" for elected officials to be involved....
It's no problem.
All Locals are audited by the IBT, every 5 years.
I had to repay my Local .42¢
For overpaying (tipping) .... on a cup of coffee.

Now I know why the finances are improving...$.42 at a time.
My point is protesting with other Teamsters under attack might not have been "sanctioned" but it's the right thing to do with a much cleaner union purpose than the "sanctioned" gathering of hundreds of officers in Minneapolis (on their locals dime) to say happy retirement to the former GST.
But what do I know...

At the time, I thought it was petty.
Your point is right on the money.
I was always "trained" to exercise an abundance of caution, when it came to
Local Union expenditures. After all, it's the members dues money.
From what I have seen, you're one of the best (knowledgeable) posters on this forum.
I don't say that to stroke your ego, it's just readily apparent to me.
Besides.... I can't do it all, or know it all.

It is petty, but if that's all they found, your local is well run. Reminds me of UPS's ride alongs where the on road HAS to find something wrong.

They always find "something" wrong.
Hand them the fob (keys).... and ask for a "demonstration" of the methods.

Second question is: Why don't you email him and ask him?
Unless this is supposedly "food for thought".
