[QUOTE="Cole, post: 235546, member: 9507"] SB, The point I am making is no matter who our CBA is, if the members sit back on their laurels, the same things will happen, similar to the book "The Animal Farm", complacency breeds corruption, as does ignorance. To understand our brother 705, you have to understand their local is massive, and they stand alone with their own contract, and they have after past problems turned that massive local around to be one of the best, so it stands to reason he would see the glass as half full where the Teamsters are concerned, and although we are quick to point out criminal elements from the Chicago region in the past, their peeps still have made some siginificant contributions to labor, and in some ways have lead the charge for improvements. They have had many battles while some of us sat back hoping to reap from those efforts. I say that because may area is not labor friendly, and if our wages were negotiated locally we would likely not make what we do imo. As far as Danny, Van and the APWA, and others in similar situations, I totally understand their situation in 391, and it is/would/will be very difficult to make changes in that local, but at worse hopefully their (APWA) efforts will wake the members up, and a sleeping giant will take hold of their futures better, as we all can do more to improve things in our respective areas. Ok I am done! Take Care all!:thumbup1: [/QUOTE]
