[QUOTE="BigBrown1234, post: 3503695, member: 68729"] I know, it sounds like "Big Bad Bug" is trying to beat up on (funny) (Most) Local's that elect Stewards, are subject to 3 year terms.(you spoke in absolutes with you first response, funny how quick you change) I'll tell you what happened; (good guess) She ran against the Local ST, and lost because of slate votes. (evidenced by posts) [LIST=1] [*]My motive was to hopefully get the officers to wake up and do a better job. I knew absolutely nothing about the union officers or their positions at the time. All I knew was that at my shop we felt the BA sucked. I was approached by several members to run for office. I laughed and said friend it why not. I slapped some T shirts together and made some fliers and campaigned at 10 spots I knew were Teamster like the garbage companies. I missed over 100 different spots that I was unaware of because I didn’t have the job site list.

I campaigned at places that didn’t even know they were Teamsters :laugh: [/LIST] After losing, they were like WTF. She's not even a Steward.

I have never got the impression that TDU hates the Union. What positive purpose would a TDU rant serve? I’m just retelling my story and answering questions as best as I can recollect. Just a regular member that isn’t afraid to speak up. I have and will at any time hold a professional intellectual debate concerning subject matter with anyone at anytime anywhere, on the phone, at the Hall, Skype, YouTube, in person, in front of a board, live interview, in front of the entire membership.
