[QUOTE="Brother Joe, post: 967855, member: 41239"] Not trash talking, been in hundreds of fights, in the street & competitions. The sucks attacked as could be expected. They were rebutted. I think my copy & paste were on a higher level than the nonsense & jokes they posted. I don't have time for bs. Why would anyone waste their time with that childish crap. TDU provides workshops to train stewards to win grievances. The jr adminstration failed to give reformer locals the support they should expect from the international & droped the ball when they were handed card check. Teamsters have more decerts because the jr administration doesn't fight for good contracts or enforce contracts they have. The starting pay hasn't gone up since we struck in 97 & won. TDU members are Teamsters. jr was a corporate lawyer, hes not a Teamster. he doesn't know what a fairs day work for a fair days pay is. he doesn't have the heart, hes soft.
