[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1216775, member: 42270"] One of the guys on the 251 UA slate along with their campaign manager have been heavily involved in TDU in the past (see: [url=http://www.tdu.org/news/tdu-move-0]TDU on the Move | Teamsters for a Democratic Union[/url]). Ultimately, the negative sentiment against the national UPS contract -- along with local issues involving the Rhode Island Hospital -- seem to have swung the votes in their favor. I'm not out of 251, but just seeing some of the stuff posted online and the handbills UA was passing out leads me to believe this was a very negative and nasty race. We had a similar issue in our local (not involving TDU, but a "new" slate took out the incumbents and the race got incredibly nasty) and the divisions are still there years later; hopefully they can move on and get some things done for the members that voted them in.
