[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5433238, member: 76643"] I understand the RR deal is complicated and the basic contours of the Railway Labor Act. But I'm not impressed w O'Brien's involvement at all. I also know this Teamsters union has a proud tradition of defying injunctions to return to work. A broken tradition, yes, but one worth reviving. One we need as much as ever. We should know better by now than to hope the federal gov't can become our ally. That's foolish. We need rank and file organization and the courage of our ancestors. Collectively we have [I]tremendous power, [/I]but we'll never harness it if we play by the rules of a rigged game. We can't afford to keep sticking our tails between our legs. [/QUOTE]
