[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3308597, member: 14176"] Too liberal, or the most union-friendly state in the "union"????.....but yea definitely a tangent. She was the principal officer in a relatively small NYC local, who like many others were tasked to lead their local through the Great Recession of the late 2000's. Like so many other locals, her local also endured financial losses over that period, but Local 805 was far from insolvent when it was absorbed by Local 810. It is my understanding that this "merger" occurred as a result of losing their single biggest employer, not insolvency. From what I understand, if it weren't for that, she had things trending in a positive direction. If you can sort through the trash, this thread has some valuable information, especially from [USER=37112]@Inthegame[/USER] : [URL='https://www.browncafe.com/community/threads/tdu-leader-bankrupts-local.360845/']TDU Leader bankrupts Local[/URL] [USER=4992]@BigUnionGuy[/USER] lets his hated of TDU cloud his perception of the facts, over and over and over.... I'm not and have never been a member of TDU, nor do I plan to be. While I have no love or angst for the organization, I do understand how TDU persists. If the IBT ever manages to keep it's act together for any extended period of time, I believe it will evaporate. I met her a couple of times and had only one candid conversation with her. I told her that running as an independent candidate for GP in the General Election was a mistake and a waste of time. I think her heart was in the right place, while her allegiances made it even harder for her to make a dent in the "man's world" of Teamsters politics. He has my complete attention going forward.
