[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5028611, member: 49065"] Vairma might be his own man and correct the name [B]"Hoffa" [/B]is off his ticket. The issue is that he was endorsed by Hoffa, and clearly stated that he found nothing wrong with the [B]2018[/B] [B]"Forced" contract.. and the concessions that came with it...(22.4's)[/B] If the Vairma ticket ran on equalizing pensions and health and welfare benefits for the entire membership not just the West... I would give him a listen...We all know how the Western got their improved benefits, they did have smart people who diversified and organized into other industries beside Trucking and Freight. Their funds are fueled by the Article 34 increases under the (Master) both from full time and part time weekly contributions. The markets have been booming even with this pandemic, I expect this to last till the middle of next year then it will be decision time... Both these candidates are basically cut from the same cloth, do I expect O'Brien to do anything more than what Vairma would do ... probably not...

The age difference between the two men is one of the reasons that I voted for O'Brien, I am close to Vairma's age and I know how set in your ways you become. O'Brien has an edge to him that might help with organizing and an aggressiveness that comes with somebody younger. [/QUOTE]
