[QUOTE="agitator, post: 243864, member: 11604"] I would like to thank ihadit for mentioning my website; i received tens of hits on my website...hopefully someone will get inspired to do their own "local" agiatator. I started this newsletter because what had happened in local 804 since Ron Carey had left. Besides being the Pres of the Intl, Carey was also 804's leader. When he left and of course acquited of all the charges, our local Executive Board shunned him; they gave him no support at all ...not one of them showed up during his trial!! Since then our Exec Bd has supported Hoffa and his "best contract ever". But we , the rank-and -file at 804, have continued to be reform-minded: voted for Ronnie in 91, 96...and Tom L in 97, 01, and 06! Yet our Ex bd continues to win elections. Some good and descent rank-and-file members have valliently challenged them, but the exec officers seem to get the same 1100 or so members (out of 8000) to vote them back in. Its very frustrating...most members seemed uninformed and uninspired. It seems elections werent changing anything so i decided to do this newsletter in order to get the rankandfile informed about the issues and ideas they need to hear in order to make more informed choices before them..having an informed membership means having an empowered membership ...and an empowered membership makes fresh and bold choices...they know the issues and and need to be told "how to vote". Anyway, I basically do this newsletter myself..so it s time consuming. But i get lots of feed back and ideas from members all the time..its always very positive. The Exec Bd isnt too thrilled but hey...they are elected officials...they have to learn to accept criticism and the fact that there is an insurgency within 804 who are unhappy with their "leadership". I am going to the TDU convention this Nov to meet some other Teamster activists. Hope to see you there! I solidarity, Agitator [/QUOTE]
