[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1113204, member: 17969"] TDU is a subversive activist group compiled of "misfits", "outcasts" and "burnouts" who are still members of the Teamsters. While they "do" provide information on their websites that can at times, provide a good source of information for all members, they can in the alternative provide FALSE information that harms members. For instance, in this years negotiations, they are claiming that "a deal to be made soon", even though they are NOT a part of the negotiations, nor are they present in the committees. This "HARMS" the membership, because the members who read this will not PREPARE, PROTECT or PLAN their lives to include a strike against UPS. In 1997, Ron Carey and TDU didnt communicate to the membership ahead of time that a strike was imminent and we were all caught by surprise and none of us had time to prepare. Ron Carey had sucked out all the strike fund with his OVERNIGHT fiasco, and we were left with 50 bucks a week for three weeks to survive on. This time, TDU is at it again, putting up FALSE HOPES and confusing the membership. Members need to prepare, plan and protect their personal finances TODAY. Regardless of what happens in the negotiations, EVERYONE needs to plan as if a strike is imminent. All the happy talk in the world wont pay your mortgage, rent, bills, daycare and such, and TDU isnt about to hand out money to members should we end up on strike. For me, I hope that if we do go on strike, we can reflect on the disconnect that TDU displayed and that group finally put out of business. Let us not forget that TDU attempted to give us SANDY POPE as leader and the membership overwhelmingly rejected that. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
