[QUOTE="Sporh schmore, post: 808536, member: 33616"] This is my 1st post but I've been following along. What many people here seem to forget is that we are in the same union, we are not in Teamsters Local Row A or Teamsters Local Row B, etc, etc, we are in Teamsters Local 804..together. We are doing exactly what the company wants...fighting among ourselves driving a stake down the center of the local. I don't care what your feelings are about the past board or the current board, what I do care about is members supporting the leadership that is in place. You don't have to like them or agree with them but you should at least support them. If you've ever been a shop steward think about how hard it would be to be effective in your center if your guys didn't support you and that's with only 60 or 65 guys. How do you expect a board to be effective if half the locals membership is talking trash about them. Don't air out our dirty laundry where the company can see it. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. [/QUOTE]
