[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1802948, member: 29553"] Actually, Tim was an Intl Organizer in the 90s under Carey and Fred Z was Carhauler Director under Hoffa until recently. Remember Hoffa never held Intl office before 1999. As for Teamsters United being for something, well you might not have heard them speak in person then. Each time ive heard Tim or Fred speak they speak of the problems in the contracts that Hoffa/Hall have negotiated and how easily they gave away the store with all the leverage we had. They point to how they individually negotiate on the local level with UPS and how they have negotiated strong local supplements,etc. They too have a record for everyone to see. They mention how they plan to mobilize the rank and file for the next contract in advance and have rank and file committees (both for FT and PTers) to advise the negotiators. They talk about having education seminars for not just the officers but for the rank and file as well. If you have listened to any of Tim's speeches, you would hear him talk of how he approaches negotiations like an organizer,etc. The campaign has just begun. You are right too much negative stuff is highlighted and not enough positive stuff of what will be different. "The answers are coming"!! [/QUOTE]
