TDU never has anything positive to say. Why is that????
Becuse they are a bunch of left wing nut balls! and they want to devide the union so they can get their foot in the door!................Wouldnt be suprised if Brown was donating to their cause..........just saying.................no facts to back it up!...........i maybe crazy but I dont think im too wrong!
Many of us feel that this contract is doing the dividing. It seems like a lot of the membership is thinking of themselves only and not what's best for the whole.Becuse they are a bunch of left wing nut balls! and they want to devide the union so they can get their foot in the door!................Wouldnt be suprised if Brown was donating to their cause..........just saying.................no facts to back it up!...........i maybe crazy but I dont think im too wrong!
as long as we keep voting the same garbage in office. This is what we are going to get........................................nothing but screwed !Many of us feel that this contract is doing the dividing. It seems like a lot of the membership is thinking of themselves only and not what's best for the whole.
That's where the division is, I believe. TDU wouldn't be a factor in anything or have issues to take up if we had leadership and members that think of what's best for the WHOLE ( including part time workers who are getting the shaft if this passes) and not just of their own issues. The folks in other regions that voted yes for the National Mstr should never have a say in other regions healthcare if they weren't going to receive it too. It's becoming a "me first" union from the top down....The International Step-Brotherhood of Teamsters. Didn't used to be that way. We're better than that.
This union has been divided since 1991. 50/50 in almost every election. But then again when only 25% of members vote, I guess there is no split:75% agree on not voting!! Once that famous name is no longer on the slate, then we will see a real fight for the soul of this union.Becuse they are a bunch of left wing nut balls! and they want to devide the union so they can get their foot in the door!................Wouldnt be suprised if Brown was donating to their cause..........just saying.................no facts to back it up!...........i maybe crazy but I dont think im too wrong!

By the way ups HAS contributed in the past...but to the old guard forces of Hoffa!!
Look at the campaign flyers for Members First, United Action, and Integrity slates. They are very similar, right out of the TDU handbook for running for local office.

Another effort to bankrupt the union. They know the union doesnt want to spend all that money on arbitration cases!UPS management in RI said they hope the TDUers get in. They will take every termination to arbitration. That is scary.
TDU really sucksThere is not a doubt in my mind. They use the same crack pot TDU "lawyer" that drives a beater and asks for gas money in addition to whatever the cost is involved.

The company can afford to take every case to arbitration but Local 251 (according to the LM-2's) cannot.
The guy with a BA is better off being a manager at UPS. What if that guy with the BA, failed as a driver? A dude with a BUSINESS MANAGEMENT degree doesn't sound special for a Labor Union. I want the guy that has connections with arbitrators. I want the guy that can guarantee my job.Politics aside, would you rather have a guy with a business management degree or a high school dropout running your local. I refer you to my signature.
Reminds me of the guy trying to convince me he was qualified to run the local because he had a degree (in theology). He went on to say he deserved the job because he spent so much time in school.The guy with a BA is better off being a manager at UPS. What if that guy with the BA, failed as a driver?

I think the difference for me is this: "Wanted! Someone that actually cares." I'd rather have a new steward that will read the book and aggressively apply it, even tho they are a little green at it, and CARES what happens to members than a Business Agent that knows all the rules and angles but refuses to truly support the members to appease the Labor Manager.The guy with a BA is better off being a manager at UPS.
