[QUOTE="hubrat, post: 812401, member: 869"] Let me guess: you think President Obama is a foreign-born Muslim antichrist. The Unions need improvement. As members of our union, as Teamsters, it is our responsibility to hold our elected officials accountable, just like in government. But you have so little respect for the organization that has historically won big concessions for you you'd rather wallow around and whine than read the yearly expenditure report. My BA and local president are definitely not getting rich off of my dues, and every time I have asked for help they have obliged. I for one agree with right-to-work legislature. I also believe that if you opt out of the union you should not benefit from union-won concessions, including higher wages. There is a possibility that our company will convert to a two-tiered pay system in 2013. As an independent worker you should be placed at that lower tier. In my area it will be a little over half what I make but you can still consider yourself well-paid as a laborer. Nobody in this country besides the Teamsters really believes we are worth what we are paid anyway. Without the union pay will eventually be a single tier again, the lower one. Living in such a state now, I see that management can be fired for any reason, or for no reason. Declining union representation would mean the same for you and since seniority is agreed upon in the contract you better pucker up if you really h82looz. Without the Teamsters this would not have become the great company that it is. Without the Teamsters our pay will be comparable to the rest of the sorely underpaid industry. I'd bet a month's dues (mine are higher than yours) you weren't bashing them in 1997. After 28 years you have used them for all you can get, and now, much like over-indulgent wealthy conservatives would like to decrease government constraints, you don't care about who comes after you as long as you get what you believe you're entitled to. Think again about who the lemming is. You haven't written anything that isn't typical tea bag rhetoric. Good people of the Teamsters unite and help our president and his administration Organize America! The rest of you just stay on that backward-spinning merry-go-round. I am extremely proud to be a "progressive liberal." Y'all just keep your pride as regressive conservatives. Btw we produce nothing. We move things others produce from point a to point b. [/QUOTE]
