That’s the definition of an ad hominem attack you didn’t respond to any of the arguments in the article you attacked the source. Second lowest level of argumentation and does not contribute to solving the issues at hand at all. Feel free to read it and pick anything you like that you disagree with and tell me why I’d be happy to respond and/or change my mind on things if you make a good point.
Lol what issue? I didn't realize talking with you about your article Tom would "solve" the issue.
You're pathetic lol. I make a comment about the site and you take it so personal that you think I need to discuss and debate it to change your mind. You would be perfect for the current events forum. The reason I'm attacking you is not because of your position on the subject. It's because you feel I should agree with you or explain why I don't. So in short I'm attacking you because of your arrogance because I don’t owe you anything. You approached me with your issues when i wasnt talking to you at all. .
Saved, lmao.
Because in this ridiculous articles premise the Hoffa administration and the OZ administration are basically one in the same.
Well if it is 100% true that hoffa had his protege hoodwink us with a false conversion into a reformer that would change a lot of peoples view of the situation. Right now we are in trust but verify mode hoping for the best. I would say in that case push O’Brien to put his cards on the table.
Railroad already did find out. Encouraged members to vote yes on a contract they didn’t want then celebrated with crazy Nancy polosi after she forced it on them.We will find out soon enough...
Central had a temporary agreement to allow you split up a week of vacation to use as call in or sick days, without scheduling, last week when they reconvened negotiating the company backtracked and said, never mind, we didn’t mean that.
Who?
They didn’t vote last time, they won’t vote again. And they’re still going to get a significant bump. They are not forgot. They also are not engaged for the most part.
It’s communist rubbishThat article is drivel,
Now TDU isn't radical enough? Fake “dissidents" lol.
The 2/3 rule wasn't arcane or mysterious its was right in the constitution and has been used before.
By this writers analysis 90% of the contract is arcane to most members because they don't READ IT. Its gone now, and I was one who voted to be rid of it at the convention, so game on Teamster members, put up or shut up time, no more safety net, or ability to blame the leadership.
Then he said the membership was "Seething" and than says the election had "lowest turnout of any direct elections in the history of the Teamsters, to replace former president James Hoffa Jr." Wow Tom really seething, sounds more like complacency to me. The same reason the 2/3 rule was able to be used in 2018.
Tom Didn't like the speach Sunday? Eh so what, most know its posturing, and many I've talked to liked the energy. At the very least they were interested enough to watch. Haven't seen that in years.
"The “promise” to strike if a deal is not in place by the expiration date only underscores that they intend to get a deal done well in advance of the deadline to pre-empt a strike. Industry consultant Satish Jindel has predicted a deal will get done by the end of June, and that there was “no chance” of a strike, according to an article in Freightwaves" .......
Satish Jindel, who? this garbage article is based off some consultants guess? Does he also know the Powerball numbers for the lottery?
Tom goes on to bitch about the carhaul contract. The very fact Obrian was able to get ANY contract much less one with significant improvements to a DYING industry like Carhaul was an absolute shock and a huge win. Tom is ignorant to the reality of this industry. I am well aware and understand carhaul.
The rest of the article is a leftist rant against the government and the union.Tinfoil hat conspiracy, Pure nonsense/Anarchy against the union.
"This is why the World Socialist Web Site urges workers to take the initiative out of the hands of the Teamsters apparatus by forming rank-and-file committees, which would transfer decision-making power from the union apparatus to workers themselves.".....
So Tom want 250,000+ differnt opinions to negotiate the contact?
Absolute Fool
Absolute Foolish deranged website full of malcontents.
More like Faber College
With a 25% pay raise. Think the Teamsters will be able to match that?
For the malcontents who wrote that story absolutely nothing would be good enough.
Time off was always what I wanted more.
