[QUOTE="Liberty Bear, post: 255169, member: 12147"] That's bull*****. As a political activist and candidate for public office, I do wish people would be more politically active. However, as long as the Teamsters are sucking money out of my paycheck, I expect them to fight for me, whether I attend meetings or not. I heard that same excuse when I was a teacher - "If you want to fix things, you need to attend union meetings!" So I did - big time. I attended meetings regularly, took notes, did research in libraries and on the Internet, and I was shocked to discover just how corrupt our union was. I also spoke out at meetings, only to see the conversations I began nixed by manipulation of Roberts Rule of Order and various stunts. I haven't been with UPS long enough to learn if the Teamsters play similar games, but the evidence I've seen so far suggests that I'm repeating history. [/QUOTE]
