[QUOTE="sawdusttv, post: 201756, member: 7476"] Guys, I understand the whole unity and staying together concept, but that is what it is a CONCEPT, and for the most part the people in the CS area (which covers around 25 states), are so fed up with the present system and representation that the majority just want out, with a new CBA and fresh start at all cost. I to was a teamster shop steward for 5 years, and I experienced the lack of interest by members, the apathy, the lack of involvement, but these were symptoms of failing representation. The not seeing BA's unless they wanted money or votes, the sweeping grievances under the rug, the telling you to sit down, your out of order at the meetings if you said something that they didn't want to hear, and in our local, you can't vote them out because the local president is also the IBT VP, and it wouldn't look good for him to be thrown out of his local, so they count the votes and stack them against you. So, in this situation they leave you with only one option. Get rid of the teamsters all together! [/QUOTE]
