Your local voted in majority to pass the contract......and like you said your just upset on how the contract affects you..........just to clarify a union means we all stand together whether it's to pass a contract or strike

The majority did not have a say in their supplements.
You just had to have your pay raise and retro.
You just couldn't wait and back your fellow brothers and sisters in their fight?

We all had a say. You just chose to back a group out for a political agenda instead. A group that put themselves before members. A group trying to smear the good name of the Teamsters. If you wanted a better supplement, elect new local executives. But that's not what this is really about is it?
Post the last line of that report or I'll do it for you!

Their SAY was NO.
Hoffa over ruled them.
So Hoffa's say is what counted.
He didn't give a crap about their say.
You don't give a crap about their say.

Oh I do care! I just don't give a crap about the 3 "clowns" that have a political agenda.

Amen.
And, let's reflect on that for a minute.
The 97 strike came at an opportune time. The labor "climate" was right.
The issue of part-time jobs.... was an underlying issue.
Ups thought they could call Ron Carey's (perceived) bluff.
Even though a good time was had by all
....Members still crossed the picket line.
It took years to straighten out most of the 22.3 language.
And we are still dealing with (resulting) pension issues.
It's funny you say that.
The vocal members in freight, have a saying they (always) fall back on.
"I was looking for a job when I came here, so shut them down".
In essence, they are no different than certain people at Ups. They are out for themselves.

What does it mean to "have a political agenda"?
Who doesn't in this arena?
Why is it supposed to be taboo to aspire to be more?
What makes these people heretics to want a shot?
I'm sure the same thing was said about Hoffa in the late 90's, when he had nothing more than name recognition on his resume.
When you put yourself and your political career before the members, your done.

...and this has changed when...and how?
The stock market continues to break previous records, while the middle class continues fall further and further behind.
We can longer let these corporations continue to poor mouth about a supposed "down economy".
Who, if not labor unions, will reverse this trend?
We must SAY NO TO THE STATUS QUOTE!!!

...and anybody who challenges the status quo is instantly reduced to having a "political agenda".
I'm not buying it.
Something has to change.
It is! The bullship is coming to an end. And I think it's completely irresponsible to vote for ANY change just because.

The goofball TDU candidates....
Wish they were in the envious "catbird seat".
How much money can TDU raise ?
Enough.... to win a National IBT Election ?
