[QUOTE="scratch, post: 306354, member: 1674"] I remember the first time I voted in a Teamster Election. It was the late seventies and my Local rented a room at an old seedy motel that was near a Yellow Freight Terminal in Marietta Ga. This was closer to my house than driving to Atlanta, so I went there. It reminded me of a scene out of "The Godfather". There were three fat guys sitting around a card table smoking cigars. The Ballot Box was sitting on the table that was covered by a sheet. I have always wondered if there was a hole in the box and table with a trash can underneath to collect the ballots. The only thing one of them said to me was "Thank youse for doing your duty......" If there was a stove with someone stirring the marinara sauce, the picture would have been perfect. There were rumors they used to settle a few local contracts with some well placed sticks of dynamite................... [/QUOTE]
