[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1240280, member: 14176"] Unfortunately, this "phenomenon" manifests itself on both sides of the fence. You yourself are guilty in the above quoted post. While you proclaim that "only the people in the hearing" know the truth, you don't know that the source for TDU wasn't someone who was in the hearing, yet you label it as "wrongfully" bashing? I'm not pro or anti-TDU and agree that they stray from reality at times. But with that being said, I watch most IBT hardliners immediately label and dismiss anybody who has a contrary viewpoint as a TDU heretic. I look at it this way, if there wasn't something to their teachings, TDU would have went to the wayside long ago much like APWA. Yet TDU persists and grows stronger in the wake perceived weakness, propagated by a lack of trust in the members by the IBT in the form of truthful, timely and accurate information. Many Teamsters feel as if we aren't being given all the information we need, when we need it, to make the decisions that will shape our futures. In a society predicated on a system of checks and balances, TDU for me, provides a counterpoint not be taken as gospel, rather considered amongst the plethora of information and misinformation available to me.
