[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 4963695, member: 49065"] We all have to admit that there has been a (Good Old Boys) club running the show...part of it is because the majority of our membership that do vote are high seniority white male members. In my own local I seen only one woman and one African American voted in as business agents over the last 40 + years. Remember Sandy Pope ... She ran back in the day, I was on T net at the time and these knuckle dragging (real teamsters) were degrading her just because she was a woman running for a man’s position. It was disgusting even back then, that was the mentality back then even in our so called leadership positions. We need new viewpoints not this so called diversity angle, most of us want the most qualified people in office whatever their race or gender. Really is their any difference in who we put into office, you learn by doing the job...if they don’t do a good job you simply vote them out. [/QUOTE]
