[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 898136, member: 9500"] Different ideas are great. Dissenting views are even better. TDU and Upstate are the same thing: criticize a process they don't participate in. [U]In our local[/U] every so often TDU puts together a slate of malcontents who spout the same b/s you hear here. I look at the list, then verify these people are even Union members. Who are they? Are they ever at the hall? Nope. Do they ever approach me to become a Steward and become involved in the process? Nope. Are they more about the drama or are they really trying to improve things? (I've never found any TDU'er that wasn't just all about the drama which is counter-productive.) All they do is criticize from the outside. Then, TDU puts together a slate and want to come in and run everything with no experience and no concept about what it really takes to manage a successful Union and win strong contracts. They promise everything to everybody yet have no track record to show for it. Let's not forget what TDU, Teamsters for a [I]Democratic[/I] Union likes to print on the inside of the [I]Convoy Dispatch[/I]: "we reserve the right to limit membership". I guess if they ever get to run things we can count on them locking the rest of us out. We need a new acronym for TDU: DUMINO Democratic Union Member In Name Only [/QUOTE]
