Some people wish to stay part time for 30 + yrs and to retire and recieve their pension that they deserve. Who are you to say driving is a career and part time isnt. Im sure some doctors lawyers would laugh and say truck driving isnt a career either. Watch what you say about fellow teamsters, dont be a sellout.

So you think we deserve to pay almost 50% of our weekly paychecks to health benefits (this is even with your "raise") because you've come up with some arbitrary definition of what our job is? Am I close?
What's 5 x 17.5? 5x 20? 5x 25? Basic mathematics not your strong suit? Am I close?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
That really does not have anything to do with when negotiations start again or finish.
Sorry Im just tired of hearing the Teamsters will do this or that in the next contract! When they havent taken care anything but our dues in this contract....Just venting


We are the ones that enforce the contract. Not much a steward or BA can do without a grievance being filed.

What happened to the days when your BA used to stop at all the building 2 or 3 times a week and holler at management for working? Not just a special guest apperance when its re election time!!!
My BA is in our building every single day. He hasn't taken a full vacation in over 2 years. Brownslave is right, some people expect the problems to just go away. It's the simple minded people that say "nothing is done". Of course nothing is done, WHEN THAT SAME PERSON THAT BĪTCHES DOESN'T DO SHĪT! BA's and us Stewies can't be everywhere at all times. File just 1, just 1 grievance this year!! Police a violation, and file one!! Sign your name and own the thing! All I hear is bitching on BC. It never ends. Wake up tomorrow with a set of balls and enforce you gosh darn contract!

Run for steward and help inform the ones who don't know. I'm not a steward. Have considered it but really don't like confrontation. I do however pass on my contract knowledge to anyone willing to talk to me.

I've considered it but I have to represent non due paying memebers, including the ones that lost their job and got it back thanks to the union and still don't join. True story. It's easier for people like me to just help those who need/want the advice and tell the me-sters to piss off. True Story again.
