Central States going broke---

[Big Rigger]

Naw.....but I will defend myself.

But then that's all ya got?

Or recognizable by the recipient(can't fix stupid)...

there are many kinds of people in the world. just because they don't receive what you've told them doesn't mean you stop telling or warning people of unsafe or dangerous issues ahead. most people learn by the pain associated with their mistakes and few people look ahead to consequences that may precipitate from their short-sightedness. the jails and prisons are full (except in california) for some reason. given the number of bargaining unit upsers and the state of the family we will employ some doozies.

people will normally listen if they know and respect the person offering them advice but the hearing rooms are full of those who are "stupid" enough to ignore sound wisdom.

Not at UPS. We hire stupid people and then promote them.

Again, you don't know me.

Yes, I'm well paid and I've paid my dues for representation.

I thumb my nose at self important, self anointed individuals in the union. No, those weren't my words but yours. I'm a dues paying member.

When it's all over....try to recall this simple exchange.

 

[BigUnionGuy]

I thumb my nose at self important, self anointed individuals in the union.

Funny....

There is nothing in the IBT constitution or any Local bylaws, that talk about an "anointment" ceremony.

Maybe, you have that confused with being elected into office by the membership ?

Depth perception....

 

[quad decade guy]

Stings huh. Being called out like this. Begging for relevance.

Do you know the difference between self anointed, self-important irrelevance and a Big Union Guy?.....nothing.

 

[burrheadd]

I thumb my nose at self important, self anointed individuals

Do you ever poke yourself in the eye?

 

[Dave426]

If anything were to be done to Central States Fund, it would have been done 30 years ago... If anyone thinks that there will be something done at this point in the game, they are kidding themselves

 

[quad decade guy]
