[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 933989, member: 16651"] "crowbar" You've made it abundantly clears with your last couple of posts and the "quotes" contained in them that you're not in a position to relate any "facts" whatsoever. You're a liar, plain and simple. As for your "growth"...funny, when I joined the Teamsters, they were claiming at the time that there were over 2.4 million members (they've since reduced that claim, I believe, to around 2 million, but it doesn't really matter). Now, with all the alleged "organizing" that's gone on over the last 40 years or so, how many Teamsters are there left today? And remember...forty years ago those 2 million and more jobs were GOOD jobs; what have the Teamsters "organized" to replace them? Lot of Teamster LTL truck drivers been able to switch over to emptying bed pans in order to get their pension time in, for example? How about the dockworkers of the hundreds of Teamster-organized trucking companies that went out of business...they been able to maintain their health benefits by changing sheets in some recently "organized" motel, have they? With that in mind, I got a kick out of your wage comparisons. The UNEMPLOYED Teamsters - the majority of the union's members over the last few decades - make a lot more than their "unorganized" but WORKING brethren, do they? In short, GET REAL! I can't stop you from being dishonest; unfortunately, that is an affliction you share with far too many of today's Teamsters. But I certainly can point out the bullsh_t you're trying to feed people for what it is. Lastly, you're aware as much as anybody that ANYONE - got that? ANYONE - can join a union simply by signing a card...IF THE UNION WILL LET HIM! That is - along with the millions of jobs guys like you have pissed away - your "referendum". And I'm afraid it is something you're just going to have to live with. [/QUOTE]
