[QUOTE="804brown, post: 812240, member: 29553"] LOL, "the E board and company working together" that is a joke. The "get along go along" guys were fired by us over a year ago. Management actually hates and is frustrated by this board because they do not sell out the members like Row A did. On the Dues-gate, i remember our dues being a week late back in Oct or Nov or Dec. I don't think it is some conspiracy. Sometimes the woman who takes care of the dues in the hall is on vacation and it has to wait a week. And yes the dues HAVE to go up evertime your hourly wage increases! As for being a "one term board", only time will tell. As for this current Delegate's Election for the Teamster Convention, the row B guys will win. I do not doubt that, sorry to burst your bubble. In 2 years this new board will have 3 years of executive experience. They will have (hopefully) worked out all the bugs and fully implemented their agenda. Plus , they will be mobilizing the entire local for the next contract negotiations in 2013. I really can't see us changing horses midstream with a new contract in 2013! I think that is why Tony D and company are so desparate to see this new board fail. It gives them a chance in 2013. But for us, the membership, when the board fails , we are doomed. Look at the last couple of years of Row A. They were failing us bigtime and look at how many people were fired or suspended or harassed under their administration. We cannot afford this new board to fail. It is in all our interests (all except Tony and co)to see this new board succeed! [/QUOTE]
