[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 3813348, member: 48469"] If there’s one thing the current IBT national leadership has taught me this year, it’s this: It would be much better to have younger Teamsters who have an interest in keeping the Union strong through all of the on the job years they’ve still got ahead of them than older Teamsters who have either never done the job, or are older and on their way out, or both. Older leaders have little to nothing to lose if the Union were to collapse shortly after their exit. And this year they’ve absolutey shown what their kind of “experienced” leadership brings the Teamster membership. I don’t give a :censored: if TB and all of TDU wear pink dresses on the job and giggle like Pillsbury Doughboys if you poke their bellies. TB’s interest in keeping the Union strong for decades to come is also an interest of mine. It clearly isn’t an interest of current IBT leadership. Even in the middle of a great economic period. They just don’t give a :censored:. So yeah, I’ll throw in my chips with the younger folks, even if they are exactly as you’ve described. [/QUOTE]
