You know me...
Not gonna go negative, actually going to bring up something I think we can all agree on....

​Who was the guy that called out the 6'7" MONSTER that works at UPS? LOL What was that dude THINKING???!!! I saw him run out the door and hightail it to his car after the meeting...best move he's made so far in his life! That was priceless!

I hope he is tough, at least he'll have that going for him because he's dumber than a bucket of rocks. I was in a covo within ear shot of another convo in which he was involved. WOW, reminded me of the guy from the planet fitness commercials. I PICK THINGS UP AND PUT THEM DOWN....

I don't see that at all. I'me spoken with him directly a few times, he's got a good head on his shoulders. If he was speaking to anyone wearing a "re-elect the membership slate" t-shirt, then he was probably jumping down the conversation so they could understand him. ;-)

"A sincere thank you to each and every one of the hundreds of members who flooded the Union Hall to stand with the United Action Slate."

There were 440 people total who attended the meeting. 390 of those are Membership supporters. 5 rows for you guys plus 2 gives you 50. 10 of those 50 are actually you TDU slates nominees. So you should really recant that statement to say,"Thank you to the 40 people that we bought a free breakfast for so we could show we had some support!"

And as a footnote:
Thank you TDUnited Action for showing zero support for our softball tournament that supports our local union scholarship fund. Way to put the members first (no pun intended).
