Western PA

It's easy to spot the posers.
You know.... the ones that haven't done anything, but pay dues and complain.
And are afraid to go to work, because they are scared of management.

The problem you are failing to acknowledge is that most of us are less scared of management and more worried about the union.

We are getting screwed by our paid representatives a lot more than by management!

But I think you know that by your constant deflection of questions and crying from the roof tops that the piss poor contract was a direct result of the lack in voting by the part time, transient workers!

Doesn't sound much like a "Brotherhood" there in PA.


-Bug-

You have a point there. And it troubles me greatly that I don't see it getting much better. Some are die hard Union men & women, some want to see PA become RTW and some don't care at all.

....while 65% are part time, disposable, transient workers.

A tip of my hat to @IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U.


My postings criticizing TDU and my political affiliations are my business.

If other BrownCafe members feel they have the right to constantly complain

about the IBT and their Local leaders.... I can do the same thing, with facts.

Just like I said- your opinion is the only one. Please don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. (While you run down the people that "paid your way").

Oh but we are a brotherhood. That's how we were able to muster enough of a voter turnout to overcome the minimum percentage set by the IBT when many other parts of the country were not. There is no logic to bringing a worse supplement to a vote than the one that was rejected. The problem is that we keep getting things forced down our throat to the point where many members are feeling as if our participation doesn't matter. That shortsightedness will cause a dramatic drop in membership if RTW does ever become law and foreshadow a very dark future for this union.

Really....

That's not what happened in Local 538.

 

[Heavy Package]

WHERE IS MY RETRO CHECK??? NOW AFTER 7 MONTHS THE NEW TALLEY FOR ME IS $3X40X4X7 = $3,360 AFTER TAXES AND DEDUCTIONS AND GROWING

To those holding out- You will be sold out like a baby calf at a butcher auction. We were in the Atlantic Area as well as many others. Vote this pathetic Union leadership out in 2021 and let's get ready to fight in 2023.

 

[bowhnterdon]

The IBT is well oiled Political Machine, I doubt much, if anything will change

 

[SteeltownBrown]

You can't paint all of western PA with a broad brush by cherry picking one local. Wouldn't that be the same as calling the whole of the IBT corrupt because of the crime report in the back of the Teamster magazine?

Truth. I've been saying this since 2014.

It might be awhile

So they are Holding back one wage increase from last August and if this thing goes a few more months then they will have to retro an additional pay increase for anything that goes past this August....brilliant!!

 

[Coldworld]

And, they are still posting pics from the 2001 convention....

trying to make themselves look relevant.

Guy in the white shirt is Tim B.... with his "state of the art" flip phone.


The 2021 IBT Convention—What’s at Stake?

The sad thing about that picture is the man at the mic is probably STILL rocking that flip phone as we speak....

 

[Coldworld]
