[QUOTE="Cole, post: 183265, member: 9507"] Sorry for mixing the letters, I'll just say the parcelworkers union, which is what it will be. 705 I respect your views because it sounds like you get a good local president, but I personally will base my views on what I have seen, and what hasn't been done etc... Are you in central states? Frustrated yes, but I am done with putting up with crap we don't have to put up with. Why did Hoffa's handpicked man Keegal resign? Wasn't it because Hoffa was interferring with his investigations into organized crime? If our Pension wasn't screwed up sooo bad we wouldn't be having this discussion, but these folks that chose to drop out of the union but are in support of the Parcelworkers union, tells me they want a union where their say will matter, and they wont just be viewed as the Golden Goose. People obviousley are tired of being in a union, they cannot be proud to say they belong to, and that it is a sad sad shame. It is a fact, I would not feel comfortable sugguesting anyone join the Teamsters at this point, for fear they would want to kill me once they got their pensions taken etc... I can appreciate your willingness to try to change the unchangeable imho, but I am electing to fire the Teamsters, based on years of letting us down. I thought Carey and Perrucci fought for us more than any I have seen, but we saw how they got scammed out. The things Carey did or happened under his watch are miniscule compared to what is transpiring now. What were they thinking when they raised the age to 57, then 62, that we would just lay down and say awe shucks. Winds of change are coming and in the long run we will be better off imho. Either way I think the Teamsters need this pressure to get real about their members. I will stand with the Apwa, and show the Teamsters what happens when you screw your members. Like my dentist says, "if you ignore your teeth, they will go away";) It is about Hoffa as this happened on his watch, and I warned people this type thing would happen. One more thing about scabs etc...When Carey called for a walkout when the company raised the weight limit to 150lbs, my local made us scab on that one. [/QUOTE]
