[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 5558056, member: 60485"] That 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.

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.
