Should the union suspend union dues?

[Jumpin Jack Flash]

Speaking for my people, we're fine with the dues.

Landlords gotta eat too.
Same for banks, and lenders.

This whole thing is a life lesson about living in moderation, and staying within your means.

That goes for businesses as well. Who clearly didn’t know how to budget. As they’re getting more money than taxpayers.

How about the strike fund we started in 1998? Where’d THAT money go?

What do you mean.... where did it go ?

The annual IBT General Secretary-Treasurer's report, lists all the IBT's finances.


You read the Teamster magazine ?


It didn't go anywhere, except what was spent.... as listed on the LM-2's.

The "elected leaders" would never make money disappear. Lol.

As I've mentioned before....

Every Local gets audited every 5 years for all expenditures, and have CPA's

prepare all the tax filings and LM-2 reports.


I watched another BA have to repay like .69 cents for tipping more than 20%

on a cup of coffee when he was out of town at one of the panels.


You can't make money "disappear". Lol

If you say so. And you are never wrong so everyone can sleep better now.

It's all for you babe.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Thank you for everything you do. But please stop pretending no hanky panky goes on with officers of this union. Not saying all officers. But it is definitely not as straight up and honest around there as you want to believe.

Local 25 is asking members to donate their entire paychecks to them.

Say what

Because landlords have to pay their mortgage with your rent money, and mortgage companies still have to pay insurers and investors in mortgage backed securities.


It's not about greed, it's the basics of the system that puts a roof over people's heads. Nothing is free.

And when those mortgage backed securities fail they get a taxpayer bailout

Easy to say when everything is working out and you have a steady paycheck

 

[hellfire]

The corona virus has nothing to do with the union and the drive fund is a good thing , it promotes a pro union stance. The big business and republican community don’t like unions people

I live in a major tourist area that has a ton of golf courses including some designed by world famous course designers. The Teamsters and the Company (when I was working) always stayed at these fancy golf resorts for their "conventions"-- 2 or three times a summer it seemed like. One of the drivers wives worked at the fanciest one and would let us know when they were in town for a few days. We NEVER saw the Teamsters at our building but the big wigs from UPS would stick their noses in the building between golf rounds.

Which is why people should have to pay their bills.

These shutdowns need to end. They probably never should have happened.

I honestly think, not that I'm a conspiracy theorist but I think there is something more than what the government is telling us

Question was asked this week, should the Local furlough BAs during this safer at home? With no shop visits, local levels and state panels what are these people doing? At $3,000 to $3,500 per week in compensation, it's a fair question.
