[QUOTE="IzzyTheNose, post: 1130597, member: 15470"] I didn't know what the TDU was until you started yammering on about it. I still don't fully understand what the TDU is, or how strong or loose its affiliation is with the Teamsters. And I don't care. If you think tossing me in with that lot bothers me, you're going to be disappointed. How am I showing 0% support? By disagreeing with you? Because I've pointed out your hypocrisy more than once? Give me examples. My stance is and always has been that there IS cause for concern. This tentative agreement does not reflect the kind of proposal you'd think we'd be offered after a near DECADE in profits. That's not even debatable. When we pointed out numbers (numbers from a proposal that was based purely on speculation and rumor, according to you), you defended them. If these numbers weren't accurate, why were you defending them? Answer me that? Why were you going so far as to throw out stupid comparisons to Taco Bell or Walmart? Why were you basically telling us to shut up and show our contract to our neighbors, and see what they'd have to say about how bad we have it? It was ALL spin in an effort to get us on board with YOUR opinion of the contract. You were trying to strong-arm us. Nothing more. I've brought up valid concerns as to why we were frustrated with the handling of the negotiations. You choose to disregard them, and go as far as question our Union membership, or even imply that we're apart of some rogue outfit looking to tear apart the Union. That isn't the case at all. We're a concerned group that's worried we may get locked into a 5 year deal that doesn't have our best interests at heart. Why this is so complex for you to understand, is truly beyond me. If all this means I don't support the Union 100%, I ain't salty. I'd rather shoot straight and speak the truth when I KNOW something isn't right, than sit back and do nothing, effectively leaving my future in the hands of someone I don't know and hasn't earned my trust. And you never answered my question. Have you read the contract in its entirety? [/QUOTE]
