[QUOTE="Cole, post: 188786, member: 9507"] Let's see Hoffa went to prison for embezzling money from pension funds, and jury tampering. Sure he did some good things, but those connections are not gone, and Jr was business partners with Allen Dorfman. It shows that there have been multiple improprieties with CS for a VERY long time, and some have asked for proof, well there it is. So why doesn't all that corruption have any bearing on today?! If they didn't pilage sooo much money from the funds, I seriousley doubt we would be in such dire straits today. Obviousley someone was wise enough in years past to keep you guys out of CS. I did discover alot of info, and some very positive things about your locals recent history, which validates alot of what you have been saying. Such as the trusteeship due to mass corruption in your local in years past, up to today, from what I read great strides were made to get rid of the corruption, so I understand why you say what you say about trying to reform the Teamsters, but I agree to disagree that it can be done on the grand scale of the Teamsters. I truely respect what you folks did in your local. So only Teamsters fought for all the things you mentioned? I don't buy that. If they had kept their hands out the cookie jars, we wouldn't be looked at as belonging to a criminal organization. Talk about spoiled, just read up on the lifestyles they led, and some still do, at our expense. Alot of people lost their lives trying to stand up to the corruption of those you just defended, so I take offense to that. If you got to do it by criminal means, then you become as the criminals. So who are you talking about that lost their lives, because my post was about officers, and people in CS etc...?sure some of these criminal elements lost their lives I am sure, because they became liabilities etc...the "investments" and they way they used Union funds was what I was pointing out.
