[QUOTE="705red, post: 188776, member: 5229"] Cole im into history and enjoy reading up on it. The best thing about history is you learn from it, the things to do and not to do. I dont see how what happened as far back as 20 years ago has any weight bearing on this topic of conversation. The laws were alot different back then. Alot that jimmy sr. did he did for the most part to better the teamster movement and the members, yes some of it was illegal but was also common practice during those times. The teamsters then were in a struggle for all working americans, trying to move workings americans (the back bone of america) out of the poverty that they were forced to live in. Now the spoiled americans that we have become its easy to judge their actions from decades ago and criticize every one of their choices, but we are who we are and reap the benefits from their actions today, for without them we would not be at the pay scales, have the medical we do, and yes even have the pension plans. Alot of people lost more than several hundred dollars a month from their pension, they lost their lives to build this organization, and i take offense to you attempting to belittle their their decisions without even walking in their shoes!
