[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 266004, member: 9859"] I disagree, IMO the teamsters were doomed from the outset of this contract from previous impropriorties to finally square up and settle their debt with the demons of the past or sell their souls to the devil and predicate the demise of a pension fund bound for failure. Unfortunatly, that weakened the Teamster bargining power in the amount of 6 Billion dollars and questionable language left up in the air for interpetation. However Five years from now with fully funded pension programs nationwide out of the red, and with the lessens we learned this year, we need to collectivley embed into our Union leadership with more than just one high priority issue. And without so much emphasis on a handshake one issue agreement, the Teamsters and it's members hopefully can have more solidarity (that is if the different factions of the Union members can stop this pissing contest) and go into next contract negotiations with an iron fist.(like Mr Fist's avator) BTW..Why do you start a thread with a question and not give an opinion as well? You already know the answer your gonna say, why not share it with the start of your threads? Seems like you only want to give rebuddles to answers you disagree with. A little defensive I would say. The rope-a-dope, leaning on the ropes counterpunching. [/QUOTE]
