[Lead Belly]

That's what they were hoping for.





And, they have 127 votes so far....

Out of the entire, Teamsters Union.

Yea Bug not so fast. Some of those were retirees. So not all will be eligible. From what I was told this is common tdu practice.

The number of nut swingers that were there is irrelevant. The number of teamsters that won't be voting for the lawyer, anything but. H might have the money but he's not buying my vote. I'm not tdu and I'm not voting for the lawyer. What's that make me?

[Anthonysg0113]

I thought H wasn't going to run again???

Why wouldn't he? UPS is just lining his pockets...

He is 73 with health issues. Perhaps it is time to step aside.

He will retire if he wins, or if he loses.
It's a age old tactic to pass the torch, without their heir apparent having to win an election on their own laurels.
Make no mistake, this slate is riding what they consider to be an advantage of name recognition, knowing the old man will walk away long before the 5 year term expires.
Then Ken H can run for the presidency for his first time as the incumbent.

Buyers Beware

Buyers Beware

Is that why you've never been elected as an officer or agent?

I have never run to be an agent, had I last time, I would have won easily.
Turned out to be a blessing in reality.

Out of my entire post, that's all you could come up with?
Interesting.
