General President's health failing?

[Irishman Collins]

I getting the idea that you would cry and complain no matter what the venue is

No, just want change and if you had any sense you would too.

Ft . Lauderdale, St . Petersburg, San Diego, Las Vegas, Chicago, Washington DC and Boston. All seem like prime vacation spots to me.

As a part-timer, those might seem like vacation spots.


When you are there on official Union business, you are not afforded the opportunity to

whimsically spend the members due's money on sightseeing tours and "pleasure".


For the most part, you are just stuck in the hotel waiting to leave.

Any entertainment.... is on your own dime.

He probably thinks, all meetings should be at the Super8 motel....

In Pigsknuckle, Arkansas. (no offense to Arkansas, it just sounded funny)


Guess what IC ?

The reason for the variety of meeting places, is to not "continually" inconvenience

the same Locals. Every Local has to "bite the bullet".

(when it comes to sharing cost's)


And then, the companies also have a say.... when scheduling the locations.

Imagine that.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said he also IC was a part timer.

You probably want change by voting for trump as well.

Now, that is one of the best ones yet, Bug. Lol!

No sir, Trump is an Ass Clown!

Whether the General President's health is failing or not, I'll take him over the other candidate any day.

SoCal, name two major accomplishments our General President has achieved?

Nothing and he is still better than FZ. I call it the better of two evils

 

[SoCalUPS]

FZ might be a good guy in his home territory, but throughout the Country and West Coast, he's a nobody. He should've started his campaign 10 years ago

 

[upschuck]

I don't care for Sylvester much at all, he couldn't get his people back to work, and had to call in the national to get their jobs back. He couldn't come through when needed to the most. I wish there was a third ticket.

I agree, as far as I remember he didn't even win the election at his own Local. I understand Teamsters wanting change, put this isn't it.

 

[Irishman Collins]

FZ might be a good guy in his home territory, but throughout the Country and West Coast, he's a nobody. He should've started his campaign 10 years ago[/QUOTE Ok, one of FZ'S accomplishments. He single handily tried to stop one of the worst UPS contracts in the History of the Teamsters Union and would of had his members on strike if our Union would of approved his strike sanctions.

 

[Coldworld]

And because of that contract, UPS is making over $800 million more a year in profits.

See what UPS gets when they back a dump truck full of cash into H's driveway, and dump it.

How much of that money is coming from surepost....millions...handing more and more work to the post office on a daily basis!!

 

[Coldworld]

You will see PT wages addressed more seriously in 2018.

Who the hell do you think you are????

 

[wide load]

He was a convicted felon, who lead our union into involvement with organized crime, subsequently spending four years in prison and was banned from the union.
His "disappearance" was an epic end to one of the biggest falls from grace in our nations history, rivaled only by that of Richard Nixon, the man who pardoned him.


He suffered a much greater humiliation than any failed local candidate, and you have never won or lost anything, it was given to you.
I had a similar opportunity when offered a BA appointment, but I declined.
The situations were not parallel, had they been, I may have accepted.
Again congratulations on your gig.

And it was at a time where we were strongest. Now a bunch of "kitty" cats want to pussafie our union? No thanks!

Were being the operative word.

When you achieve a level by artificial or illegal means, it becomes unsustainable.

Oops, there's that word again.

RTW, labor law and folks with this "puppy and kittens" TDU mentality of promises of the "unsustainable" are our issues. Lying to yourselves won't help.

Wide, Hoffa Jr. Is a disgrace to the IBT. He is not his Father nor will he ever be. He has never worked on the docks, drove a truck, been part of a strike in his employment and never felt the struggles of the working man. He was born into a white collar family. He is not blue collar nor will he ever be.
It is time for a change and for our membership to realize that a senior citizen white collar person is not the direction we need to go in anymore.
