[QUOTE="Lead Belly, post: 1705557, member: 56656"] I've never seen anyone actually threatened have you? Back in the first couple years of my employment I got into some fights with other teamsters but that was just disagreement. We weren't even involved in any union politics. We were just young. Since I have become more involved I can honestly say I've never seen anyone threatened. If you threaten someone at work you get fired. If you threaten a member in the way I think you are implying you get board charges filed on you. I can tell you this no one wants that so I doubt it happens as much as you repeated say over and over. Now knowing what local you are from because of all the recent threads that have been started on the brown cafe with the demise of teamsternet I can say that you are definitely in a very very unique local. Perusing those thread while I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago was to say the least very special. I think you are just part of a different dynamic where you are from. [/QUOTE]
