[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1439946, member: 17969"] TDU varies from state to state or region to region. They are all NOT the same. Some are progressive leaders who seek positive change for the membership and call for incumbent leaders to also want the same change in directions. Others, like in southern california, are former unionists who in one way or the other, were tossed out of the union because of something they did wrong, like steal money, mis represent members, inadequately handle union business while in charge, etc etc etc. Depending on your area, your experience with TDU may be different than others. Their website is always full of good information aside from the political commentary. If TDU could only get away from taking in the "rejects" of local politics, they may be a stronger force in union business, but until then, its still the J.V. team in the Union world. As with any entity, a quest for power is the ultimate goal of TDU. Some view TDU as a subversive group of members led by power hungry people who's only goal is to divide the membership for their own personal gains, and other view them as an alternative to corrupt "mainstream" Teamsters. There will always be disagreement in an organization, and there will always be people that want to challenge the establishment, take the knowledge of the TDU site for whats it worth, and avoid the political commentary and make your own decisions that affect you locally.
