[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5037294, member: 49065"] Then we had 24 years of concessions and division among our members... Try to remember when the International was ever proactive on a national Contract. The Company has dictated every contract since Hoffa was placed in his position. That 2002-2008 contract was a carry over from the Carey administration, with the 2008-2013 contract they rushed the Central States buyout and left a lot of members behind, they could of negotiated maintaining benefits for those who retired before 2008, they didn’t. Most of our current members never witnessed a strike or even a threat of one, the difference between the Carey years and the Hoffa years is troubling. Carey was only in office for six years, Hoffa had 24 years, name one major labor victory that was won under the Hoffa administration? Those early results in this election are expected, in the last election only 17 % of the 1,300,000 eligible members even turned in a ballot. I mailed mine in the following day as most of us on this site, so far about 100,000 were received, The deadline is November 15, three weeks from now, do the math...roughly 92 % of the Teamster membership have not even bothered to participate...yet... Bottom line is no matter who gets into office...they will have to deal with the apathy among their rank and file, it is a cancer that has been growing for decades. With all that is going on and will be happening with this pandemic driven 2023 Contract these candidates better be ready, after being knifed in the back over the last two. [/QUOTE]
