[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 1096840, member: 37112"] If there is one question in that dissertation, I believe it is "is politics involved in the Teamsters?" The answer is obviously "yes". Politics are involved in everything. Of course it's your intention to start a political debate or you wouldn't have asked the question and brought up divisive issues such as TDU and Hoffa's salary. TDU has been critical of Teamster officials since their inception pre 1980. They break windows every day with no idea how to fix them. It's an easy road telling others they're inept but yet have no viable solutions other than abstract wishes on how things "should be". The wave of feeling to be wary of is the BS spewed by the likes of wannabe leaders at TDU. I'm not a Hoffa guy but let's put a little of your "critical skilled independent thinking" to use here. Hoffa makes peanuts compared to CEO comp packages and he runs a much larger operation. Figure it out...1.3 million members pay less than a quarter($0.25) a [B]year[/B] to pay his salary. And because of the negotiations under his control, a UPS full timer makes that quarter in first thirty seconds of their first day of work each year. hall is reacting, not grandstanding, to another attack on working class America which is far too popular these days with corporate profits skyrocketing. UPS profitted 4.38 bl because of the efforts of those actives and retired now under attack. Scott Davis is welcome to whatever Comp package the Board decides, and the shareholders should get good dividends from their investment but if one employee or retiree has to lose so that happens, I'll welcome the chance to hold a picket sign. Enough is enough. [/QUOTE]
