[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 753890, member: 18044"] Can you quote that contractual language???? The person bringing "reproach" against a fellow Teamster is the initiator, the person making the threats, not the person defending himself against the threats and possible future violent acts should the threats be carried out. An innocent person or victim always has the right to self defense. Nothing can take that away from you. The Teamsters Constitution and local bylaws mention numerous charges that fellow members can be charged with, and spell out the methods for filing the charges, holding the trials, testifying against the accused, and punishing the guilty. In recent years there has also been the IRB which accepts charges from Teamsters against other Teamsters and prosecutes them when the evidence warrants. All authorized by the IBT Constitution and paid for by the dues of the members. [/QUOTE]
