[QUOTE="Gman24, post: 127888, member: 6367"] Jim Cason, the founder for those of you who dont know, invited the teamsters in. He knew what he was doing. He had a long range plan for the company and so far it's worked. He wouldn't want to admit it, if was alive today, but the teamsters help him lead the way. Our socitey is changing rapidly; the new supervsiors have modern ideas, not always good; the best ideas come from witin the rank and file. So if you dont want to pay dues, I'll pay your last week's dues then you get out and stand nearly alone with you favorite supervisor let me know how it goes.[/quote] [B]It's JIM CASEY by the way.[/B] Not Jim Cason, I'm sure that was a typo, right?
