[QUOTE="smells like godzilla, post: 1213190, member: 47003"] This is the worst spin I think I could ever imagine from Stink and co. SOB and JB get caught trying to intimidate members from taking part in a local union election, and somehow the people protecting themselves from being 'punished' are at fault? SOB's speech was at a JB & Membership Slate function. And Stink posted it up on youtube, and on this site. And some other JB supporters blast texted it out. Who is to blame for this? The Membership Slate waged an almost completely negative campaign against the challenging United Action Slate. And the UA slate campaign is somehow negative and lies? The only lies about the UA slate campaign spoken of is by Stink, RIH Teamster and UPS legacy on this board. You guys twisted anything and everything. Any 'negative' campaigning by the UA was a limited response to outright lies and mudslinging by the Membership Slate. Face it, the boys at the hall don't like members challenging for their elected positions. And that's fine. But the LMRDA (Landrum Griffin Act) guarantees the rights of union members to internal democracy, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. Seems like you guys are 44 years behind the times on this issue. [/QUOTE]
