[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5355157, member: 49065"] It is going to be hard to convince any hard core rank and file member to trust anything coming from the ivory tower even with our new leadership, far too many of us have been knifed in the back or ignored with the last several contracts. Still a lot of unresolved issues created by our past leadership that O’Brien has to deal with. If his slate fails to address those problems with the 2023 contract at least we will have the final say so this time. I really do not see any issue that both parties will be threatening a strike or lock out, the 1997 strike was all about the Company trying to get out of their liability with our pension trusts. The creation of the 22.3’s which was a major win was also an attempt to bolster the underfunded Teamsters’ pension plans particularly with those under the Central and Southern. That 2008 market crash did not help either. [/QUOTE]
