[QUOTE="804brown, post: 967998, member: 29553"] Menotyou, what you are getting here is a very small sample of our local. The people who come on here to attack our E board are basically the old board that got soundly defeated in 2009 or their little buddies who no longer have their "gumbahs" in the hall. These former members are running for their old jobs/salaries. They were in there forever and fell asleep at the wheel and woke up out of office. They lied to the membership and kept us all in the dark about our pension problems, our heath and welfare problems and even contract negotiations. They ran our local into the ground. The new board came in abit green but have really turned it around over the past 2 and 1/2 years. What you dont know is that when the new board took over the old guys turned their backs on the members and refused to assist in the transition. Files, notes and hard drives all dealing with THE MEMBERS were destroyed or taken or shredded. They didnt even attend arbitrations that they were the BAs for when they were in power. Some even told their former stewards to resign and not cooperate with the new board (No steward listened to them). Since back to their old jobs on the truck, they have ran for steward and lost as well as run for delagate to the Teamster convention and lost that too. They or their friends come on here and embarass our local with their my cousin vinny mentality and their lies. I believe in elections and democracy but these guys thought they were going to be in office for ever as though they were entitled to the position. The membership spoke big time and threw them out for good. So, in the future when you read had enough, lonewolf or mistake, etc remember this is a political attack on a still popular board by a bunch of rejected, former board members !! [/QUOTE]
