I don't care what side of the argument you come down on, that video is disgraceful. I understand it's an expression of anger and frustration, but she is just a pawn and doesn't deserve to be treated so crassly. It makes the rest of us look bad. And the word is teleprompter, why is that so hard?
Welcome to the internet.
What did she expect.
Lulz.

The "vote no" movement started on the East coast during the last contract.


It started as a result of the changes in Health & Welfare insurance.

Some members out of Locals 623 and 177.


The driver from 177 (since retired) started the "vote no" facebook page.

(He runs it like a tyrant, not willing to debate other opinions)

There is a member struggle in Local 623.... as to who actually started it there.

Fast forward to today.


TDU is.. and will always be.. an opportunistic, non-Union, source of misinformation.

Now, Teamsters United is pretending to be an "outraged". (think Fred Z)


Flip - flop - Fred....

Has earned his reputation.


Remember, when he sent a letter to the IBT General President ?

Requesting (begging) to replace Walt L.... who had retired ?


Denied.


I wonder what his motivation is ?

I guess my follow up questions/comments would be:

How does being a part of the vote no movement make your arguments about the contract invalid? It's a non sequitur known as an association fallacy, which is an ad hominem attack.

The matter of the leadership of the union is and always will be political. If you think the "vote no" folks are only taking that position because they think it will advance their careers in the union, that's one thing, and I would ask for some proof of that. But if these people are legitimately dissatisfied with the actions of the leadership, what is wrong with how they are approaching the issue? It's political? Duh, if you want to replace current leadership it has to be through political action, or possibly legal or regulatory action if applicable. The problem is that the leadership is what it is right now, and unless it takes years to ratify a new contract, there won't be another election before it does get ratified. If people legitimately do not like the contract, how else would they go about getting their views out if the official IBT stance is that the contract is good and should pass?

It’s funny how the comments on YouTube are turned off citing sexist things being said about Jamie. It’s pretty hypocritical of her to say that when her mouth is absolutely worse than most members in L174.

I disagree. This is just a different taste in comedy.

Not defending her so much as expressing my distaste for how maynard approached the matter. He could have done a better job getting his point across, and been funnier, if he had been classier.

I just wanna know how they got Rachel Maddow to be in their vote yes propaganda video. Also, when did Rachel Maddow get hit in the face with a brick.....

Starting wage is a waste of time.
Let me help you so you can follow along.
Bid driver: full time driver with a bid route

Cover driver (aka cover driver, utility driver or swing driver depending on what region your in): full time driver with no bid route

TEMPORARY cover driver (aka. TCD this position is only in certain areas of the country. If you don't know what it is, chances are it's not in your building): part time cover driver
Thanks for explaining common knowledge. In Mew England we have all of these. All go through progression and all top out at top rate. Nobody is getting $10 less for doing the same job here. No wonder why the west loves 22.4.

"Cut and Run" and to hades with the ones left behind is the golden rule with these (mean spirited) contracts, and each one is getting worst. "Failed Leadership"....

People really look at this total contract package, not just one particular issue, now look what is happening to our economy, stock market and the forecast for even more growth and profits presented to the company's shareholders.

When you vote ask the question if you truly feel that you are getting what you asked for and not settling for less with this contract?

So just maybe, the volume is heavier this week (just like last year and the year before) because of the 3 day weekend where everyone ordered stuff on line as they sat around enjoying the weekend. Discounts? Did they weather suck where you live? Guess what people did. Please take a deep breath, there is no conspiracy.

Do not forget this is also the last heavy vacation week for most centers....

Well if there was a conspiracy, that's exactly what someone trying to hide it would say....
