[QUOTE="Cole, post: 211682, member: 9507"] Red, as far as Saw, and sending letters to Hoffa/Hall, their Local Pres is Jack Cipriani and he's one of Hoffa's VP's, so that's who Hoffa will listen to. Hall, though a knowledgable man, can do nothing in that situation as Hoffa would shutdown any attempts at messing with Cip in local 391. Sat, I don't recall the Gov, "breathing down Carey's neck" prior to that strike, other than the norm IRB, which was in place before RC ever got i elected as IBT Pres. Of course there were the crooked faction of the Teamsters looking for ways to trip him up, as he was moving against some of the criminal elements. Seems like both those groups won out, as we got a more crooked one than Carey ever thought about being. Say what you want, but IMHO Carey showed he actually gave a damn about the members, but he made some costly mistakes no doubt about it. You think our current Pres would have made an issue out of UPS raising the weight limit to 150lbs? That took some brass. Obviousley I am have a great deal of respect for Carey, but I do admit he made costly mistakes. [/QUOTE]
