[QUOTE="soberups, post: 399251, member: 14668"] I need to point out two simple facts that are apparently being overlooked here; We voted for Hoffa---twice We also voted to accept the current contract. I am always amazed at the number of people who vote on the contract based solely upon how much of an hourly raise they are getting. They dont attend any union meetings or take the time to educate themselves about what it is they are voting for. Then, when the contract gets ratified and some of the less favorable aspects of it finally come to light, they complain about the very thing they voted for. As far as Hoffa Jr and his paycheck are concerned...you should compare his salary to that of any upper level corporate attorney. He isnt a truck driver. When it comes to negotiating multibillion dollar contracts with huge corporations, I want a lawyer to do that, not a truck driver. If you dont like the contract or the guy who negotiated it...vote them both down. Just remember that you are only going to get what you are willing to strike for. [/QUOTE]
