Hoffa to blame for Trump getting elected!

Your right to organize, your right to strike, overtime, FLMA, 40 hour week, NLRB, the weekend, payed holidays, paid vacations, so on and so on. You will feel it and you will feel it hard in the next 4 years

Wow. This a forum I don't stay constantly. I enjoy some of the intelligent, informed back and forth. I am very surprised about the lack of study of the Labor Movement. I can only hope people will make an effort to learn about very real and very bloody battles, that we all as Ups Teamsters benefit from everyday, not to mention the middle class in general. It is very easy to type something on Brown Cafe. It takes much more effort to study why you have the livelihood have.

If the Hoffa administration would of been more concerned with the Presidential election and less concerned with their corruption charges and their own political skins, we wouldn't of been dealing with this anti Union President elect and two houses dominated by Republican Union haters.
I heard little if any comments or saw no literature explaining to our Union brothers and sisters why this election was so important.
The votes in Minnesota, Michigan and Ohio were close and if Hoffa and his administration would of done their jobs and got the word out, this disaster would of been avoided.
Instead folks, right to work will now ripple through the rest of the country and other Anti-Union legislation will follow. Our Union is doomed and will "Never" recover from this election.
On a better note... the IBT count is almost here and all the dinosaurs and corruption will be gone!!

"Why this election is so important"

-immigration
-repeal Obamacare
-lift gov't regulations on coal, timber, oil
-drill for oil
-Supreme Court nominees
-ISIS
-Keystone pipeline
-lower taxes
-lower corporate tax rates
-eliminate the death tax
Etc etc etc

He's going to have a busy first 100 days

So, I can get out of paying Dues?

Yes-----you can legally opt out and pay an agency fee.

Is spending 30k to TDU the same thing?

Spending money on TRF is like any other 501c3 that provides a service.
A union can't give money to TDU, but members can.
But this is different then the union sending a political mailer to members. I liked our local's mailers this election. Did you?

So how can we find what "services" the TRF provided for 30k? And yes the mailer was a great plug. The timing was very suspicious.

In my Local, the difference is a couple dollars.

And you lose the right to vote.

Ours is 92% of the usual rate.

 

[Inthegame]

Ours is 92% of the usual rate.

That number changes on an annual basis. Interesting that you know the %.

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Ours is 92% of the usual rate.

Which equates to a few Dollars. And, forfeit your right to vote.

Have at it, agency payers !!

We have a 22.3 who opted out.

A 22.3? That's logical, opting out from the organization that negotiated the job he/she holds. That's a special kind of ingratitude.
Must be a real treat to be around.

She disagrees with the political portion of our dues.

Poor little fella.

Reminds me of the movie "A Christmas Story"?

The mailers before the Nov 8th election and the Sept 13th primary? Endorsing candidates for public office and encouraging members to vote is suspicious? Why, because the local wasn't politically involved in the past?

Sorry thinking of one thing and typing another. Anyway I like the pic.
