Union Politics - Tim S for General President 2016

[Lead Belly]

Really ?

A qualification (in your mind), is someone that cried at work ?


This is the Teamsters Union.... Not the sissy pants union.

Rule number one never let anyone see you cry.

Z will bring a lot of votes into this slate. I know and respect Tim. He ACTUALLY worked at Ups, a union job. He wasn't a corporate lawyer for Kroger. His first union job wasn't legal council for local 707. If it turns out to be hoffa/hall or hall/O, Sylvester/Z has my vote

My Teamcare is really good insurance. I appreciate it very much.

The only complaints I've heard so far....

Are from members, that don't have a regular physician.

They relied on going to the "emergency room" for every minor thing.


It scares some people, to be confronted by Medical Professionals.


Reason being.... it will explained.... the pitfalls of their lifestyle.

Then you obviously aren't on the front line.
I hear plenty, including today.
I will be spending some time this weekend trying to help him figure out why his wife's mammography wasn't covered.

Mark my words, it will only get worse after the General Election in the summer of 2016.

 

[BigUnionGuy]

I hear plenty, including today.

I will repeat it.... one more time.


"I thought"

"I heard"

"Or, somebody told me."

We have had very little to no complaints. There is easily a thousand part timers in my local and the consensus is good.

Man I've sure heard that before.

A revolution is a bit extreme but I understand your point. I believe we need a revolution to take our Union back from the career politicians and the businessman who currently run our Union. We need a blue collar leader who wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. One who bleed,sweat and cried on the docks or truck. Someone who truly understands the plight of the blue collar working man in this country. Someone who is reminded of their years working for the man every time he bends his knees or arches his back. That would be a true Teamster leader

This is 2015, not 1955. While I do agree that we need a leader who has "been there, done that", this leader also needs to have the business acumen necessary to deal with a multi-billion dollar corporation.

From what I hear, L804 is in Teamcare too. He would have done much better.

I believe L804 part-timers went from the company plan to Teamcare. The full-timers were & still are in the L804 plan.

The point is still the same, L804 couldn't keep the company from getting out of the HC for the hourlies.

So did he take care of the full-timers and leave the part-timers behind?

Shame on you Tim.

Repeat this...over and over again.

"I saw"

"I heard"

or "I was told" (with a witness).

You don't need to spend any time trying to help him figure it out. He or his wife can make a phone call. Never mind tell him I just helped him out also.

My wife's mammographies are covered.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

My wife's mammographies are covered.

I thought mammographies were done uncovered. Wouldn't covering them blur the images?

 

[Lead Belly]

My wife got her gallbladder taken out and it was all covered. We might have got a bill for 8bucks but she called them and it went away. Big money.

It's 12:30 and TeamCare still sucks.
