[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1396738, member: 17969"] I agree, the membership overall SHOULD reject any component of the current administration running for IBT leadership positions. There needs to be new ideas, new principles and new leaders to handle the contract in 2018. These last two giveaway contracts can only lead us to believe that more will be lost, should the same players, minus Hoffa remain the same. As for our local, it is a shame when a candidate puts his "personal" motivations ahead of the members concerns. This isnt a popularity contest, its a leadership role. It isnt a job for leap frogging into the national scene. G has shown that he is more interested in national office than obtaining local office first. His attempting to include himself into TDU convention politics shows his real intentions. His contacting of Fred Z. as some sort of "backstop" shows he has no ability to earn respect for himself and that he needs to be "pulled" over the finish line vs. running over it under his own power. With Ron and the IBT, who knows at this point. There is alot of chatter going on behind the scenes, and only time will tell how that plays out. Regardless, strategy is whats being worked out right now behind the scenes at the IBT. They know they have to deal with a "hostile" membership, and the wrong person could sink the ship. This is why local elections matter. Look at 972. They had the right number of dissention voters to oust Kelly, but, too many slates won and split the vote costing both slates a loss. This keeps Kelly in office and in play for 2018 contract negotiations unless the 972 can find ONE slate to take out Kelly prior to 2018. Ron came into office with the ideals and principles as I had, members first, local governance and responsible finances. Today, Ron has abandoned us as a leader, and has his sights set on national office. He will never go against the grain and will do what he is told to do by the IBT as long as he sits on the IBT board. TOS. [/QUOTE]
