Well it looks like SZ's campaign has already become desperate enough to plunge to the depths of using 20 year old gossip, lies, half-truths and innuendos.
SZ says he is qualified to be Secretary Treasurer of Local 396. Yet he has never been elected steward in any domicile he has worked at, he has never represented a member in a grievance, never negotiated a contract or sat on a bargaining committee. He does not attend Local 396 General Membership meetings, events, seminars, strike lines or rallies. He does not precinct walk or help pro labor politicians.
SZ's co-workers in Feeder have such little regard for him that his handle is "Supervisor Sal." He used his position as a Feeder Dispatcher to dispatch himself with extra work in violation of Local 396 rules. He called regularly called subcontractors to move bargaining unit work.
Last week he brokered a deal to work through his vacation, a closed out week, in violation of our collective bargaining agreement. A move that was stopped by Local 396 Stewards.
He claims he is not TDU yet four people who were at his poorly attended meeting(14) brought back pics of Non-Teamsters Local 396 member and TDU organizer BU running his meeting while SZ sat on the sidelines. BU even designed the theme of the slate.
C'mon SZ get out from behind the computer and start campaigning at the yards so you can see how remarkably unknown and disliked you are. You have the nerve to call someone a coward while you hide behind a computer? Grow a set and bring it on face to face campaigning at the yards. You're going to find out it isn't that easy out there with real members.
I guess Sold went into hibernation or cried to Papi, What it's No problem letting him run his mouth loosely with tons of lies but the moment the truth hits a nerve, Papi comes out to trying to save his minion? You really don't know what happened during SZ tenure as a Hourly Dispatcher do you? Jay P or Ron H never rarely visited him while at San Fernando or when he was a Main St. So to begin this, answer these questions so that we see say the truth or lie again.
Was Jay P a steward prior to working for the local? No
Did Jay P represent any member in a grievance prior to working for the local? No
Did Jay P ever negotiated any contract prior to working for the local? No
Did Jay P ever go to the membership meetings, events, seminars, strike lines or rallies prior to working for the local? No
Did Jay P ever created permanent Teamster jobs prior working for the local? No
So in a nutshell what did Jay P ever do for the membership prior to working for the local?
We are not here to go tick for tack on the page, we are asking to stop the bs with these idiots that get on and run their mouths with lies. The problem is either you guys enjoy it, support it or cant control them. At any of those answers, it does not make the local look professional, credible or respectable. We will continue to speak the truth about past, present and future.
Let me educate about you so called Sup SZ. From 2003 thru 2011 the local never complained when he hand over so many Sub contracting Violations to your stewards Leroy L, Larry S, Larry B, Mike T and many more. They made tons of money on these grievances and Ron H told SZ he should have filed them but you want to know why he didn't? So no one can say he did it selfishly to keep the money. That money should have gone to drivers that should have pulled those loads. And you have the nerve to say He violated and called sub-contractors to outsource them before Union workers. You are so full it and filled with Bs from your clan to attempt to degrade him again for your pleasure and agenda. Ask Percy M, Mike T and Bill H if he were alive and see how many grievances, arbitrations the local won because of him. He gave the inside scoop on how to read, understand slics, movements, changes of operations that were happening in Local 396 when Ron H just got into office. ITS ALL TRUE. He may have worked in the office as a Hourly but was true to his Local even when his Local Turn Their Backs On Him. Why turn on him when he was on the local side? Why Ron H didn't have the cojones to sit and talk to him? Why didn't he back him up to his group instead turn on him? Why did Jay P threaten him on Facebook 3 years ago with a group of clowns? He still has the photos to prove it so don't push it.
He accomplished creating Teamster Feeder jobs not only in Local 396 but also in Local 186 (call up there and see) and Local 986 (call up there and see too). Listed below.

What have you accomplished?
If you know your contract then you should know that during Peak they outsource work and the company has an agreement with LOCAL to do it. Its all by schedule but he followed directions, now prove to him his outsource work violating the collective bargaining agreement. If its true, show the grievance where he did it without just hear say, member saying he did.
Now getting someone fired, Get real. While working in there he would hear and was told of many employees being watched. He gave them a heads up all the time to prevent the discipline and even talked to the stewards so they be informed. Now has he seen some of his friends get terminated, Yes. In those cases he notified the BA for help find a solution and with his help getting back to the local, they got their job back. I applaud the local for doing so but understand, THAT is their job to fight for every Teamster REGARDLESS if the local dislikes, hates or wishes bad intentions on them. That's why the Executive board was voted in. Enforce the Contract, protect the membership and Negotiate a Great Contract.
Last but not least, brokered a deal to work his vacation? LOL, Now thats funny. Again you don't know the facts. Lets begin with the bargaining agreement that does not exist on paper, Verbal only. If a week is closed then the employee can not change his vacation. Now the week he wanted to RESCHEDULE, Not Work it due personal reasons was Not Closed at beginning and completion of the yearly work bid which was in March,2017. Of 13 spot, there was only 12 scheduled. In June wanted to reschedule August to October and to do the right thing, he attempted to reschedule it with his manager. Due working opposite hours, he finally got to talk his manager in mid July, now junior driver in July rescheduled the week before his August vacation moved it to his week which made the 13 spot. His manager changed for him understanding the situation even after he told her that if it was not possible he would make a big thing of it. Due to lack of the Local Not Putting on Paper we are left with many grey areas which can be misunderstood. Now a Driver who In Love with Jay P made a big stink but when it was brought to SZ attention from labor he decided to just take week off.
So the question is to Our Beloved Local 396, Where did SZ close the week that violated a drivers right to have that week and couldn't because SZ closed it? It was open at the end of the Yearly bid in March with 12 not 13.
Where is it written in Bargaining Agreement Book, Supplement or Local Feeder work rules says he Violated it? He wasn't working it, He was RESCHEDULING it.
So with that being said, We rest our case.
Peace...
