Or it could mean some folks have the ability to comprehend what they read. I understand that concept is foreign to some on BC, but most of the folks in that room had that ability, including FZ.

The entire proposed contract was gone over in substantial detail for several hours with many questions answered by chairmen of the various committees. The thoroughness of the explanation left few questions to be answered. Indeed many questions were redundant as the answers had already been given. But if the opportunity presents itself, I'll pass along your suggestion on how to run a meeting. I'm sure the IBT leaders will be very receptive.

Having that building across from the Senate office building forces every representative to read the phrase International Brotherhood of Teamsters everyday. That's tough to put a price on that value.

Don't give up...there's a few good ones out there, even in Congress. I mean this isn't Atlanta with the UPS den of iniquity.

And that is why there weren't days of questions. The fact that people didn't ask boat loads of questions means most of it was answered during the review of the language.

Yet somehow 18 Supplements failed on the first vote?

If they didn't have questions, they should have had some comments and raised hands when they asked for the opposed.

Yep. That's what I've been saying all along. Why didn't Fred Z raise any objections?
He was to busy moving the goalposts


The bigger question is;

Why did FZ have all these "priorities" in negotiations ?

If they were of serious concern, they could have been addressed years ago.

Especially, when he was still on the reservation, And still the carhaul Director.


I guess you have to do something.... when you step on (your own) Mr. Johnson. :biggrin:

Still living.... in the past ?


"But as Local 115 grew, so did its reputation for violence. In 1994, the chief federal magistrate in Philadelphia cited a litany of assaults and threats linked to it. In 1998, several associates of Mr. Morris were charged with beating protesters during a visit to the city by President Bill Clinton, for whom Mr. Morris had campaigned in 1992.

Eventually, the aura of violence became a weapon in the hands of his union enemies. In 1999 Mr. Hoffa removed Mr. Morris from Local 115, accusing him of stockpiling guns, assaulting members and misusing money."

He didn't have the benefit of being on the committee because Hoffa retaliated against him for running against Hoffa. FZ did not vote to approve and in fact sent a letter to H and H telling them he rejected the proposal. That letter is still on the Locals website.

He was in fact a day late and a dollar short.

90% of the room wasn't on the National Committee.

You have a lot of questions.

I know the answers.

And they make sense to any reasonable person.

Too bad you are in the dark on this BUG.

Seems that a driver in California knows more on this issue than a person that calls themself a big union guy.

I guess you are not a big union guy, but just a big H suck up.

You only seem to know what H wants you to know.
