[QUOTE="804brown, post: 886980, member: 29553"] You are absolutely right Red. This election is a referendum on whether Hoffa deserves another term. You add up everything: the cozy relationship with UPS, the concessionary contracts, the split raises, inaction on 9.5 issues, inaction on 22.3 jobs, inaction on subcontracting, inaction on production harassment, his huge salary of $300,000 (12 yrs ago Ron Carey's salary was $150,000), the Central States debacle, his close ties over the years to some unsavory local leaders, etc. Does this record of disaster deserve to be rewarded with another 5 years?? NO!! I understand Sandy Pope never worked for UPS (OOPS neither did Junior) but she is very smart and she does know our issues. She is extremely passionate about making this a better, stronger, more active union. She is the type that gets her hands dirty unlike Hoffa who sends in stand-ins or parachutes into someone else's rally , gives a short speech and is back on his jet back to DC!! She has it in her to make this union what we all want it to be: a fighting force to go up against UPS and not back down!! Like I said before, we all gambled in 1998 that the Hoffa name would intimidate UPS Corporate. Well, as we have seen over those 13 yrs or so , the Hoffa name didnt scare anyone. It was a failed experiment. It is time to move on to the next generation of leaders willing to fight on the front lines for the rank and file. It is time for new ideas and new leadership. Look what is happening in cities throughout this country as we speak: a new generation are not sitting silently anymore, they are taking on the status quo and the corruption of Wall St and their puppets in Washington. Now it is our turn to not sit silently anymore. It is our turn to overturn the go along, get alolng mentality status quo of our IBT and elect Sandy Pope for General President!! [/QUOTE]
