[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1717335, member: 29553"] Let's see: in 2009 the membership by a huge margin (over 2 to 1) elected a slate FILLED with TDU members, Liam of course being one of them. This so-called TDU administration fulfilled its promises and got re-elected even after being labelled a "TDU-backed Slate". Over the years Tim has been advised by the Local's lawyers, his brain trust of BAs and Officers in that hall as well as TDU Staffers and IBT lawyers and other local leaders throughout the country. So TDU has always been in the mix of voices he hears from right from the beginning. As for calling members clowns, it sounds a bit harsh but then again we are only hearing a small part of what was said without any context. And lets face it: some members are clowns. You know the type: always hanging out in the office in the morning with management, always talking badly about "the union" until they screw up and need "the union" to bail them out!! So i will give Tim a pass on the use of the word "clowns". [/QUOTE]
