[QUOTE="804brown, post: 882371, member: 29553"] "Change the tide"?? What tide?? The only "tide" I perceive out there is a movement against incumbents-at all levels and every institution. Whether it is politics or local union elections, incumbents are being thrown out. Sometimes for rational reasons and sometimes for irrational reasons. Americans in general are hurting and are taking it out on those in power. When members get their ballots they will see a very familiar name on that ballot: HOFFA. They will immediately vote against that name and choose between Pope, with a built in infrastructure that Carey, TDU and Tom L built up over 20 years, and former Hoffa lackey Gegare, whose only base is Hoffa's base. On being qualified to run the Teamsters, what qualification did Junior have to run anything in 1998?? He wasnt even a working Teamster. He was a little man with a big famous name. Tell me did he ever "bring back the power!!"?? He and many members unfortunately thought a Hoffa restoration would scare corporate America into buckling under. LOL, we know the record here. I guess the big Hoffa name just didnt have to juice anymore. Junior knows it, I bet even Gegare knows it now but went along for the ride at the members expense. Is Sandy qualified to run this once great union?? Yes, she has been around some terrific union brothers and sisters over the years like Ron Carey and Tom L. Remember she has been a Teamster since 1978. She has been on the front lines lately fighting the fight to organize the unorganized. She is not the type that sits in her office and smokes cigars. She is out there in the field holding rallies, talking to members , bargaining good contracts, holding seminars, teachiing labor law, helping other locals bargain their contracts, organizing shops, and pushing back against Corporate America. While Junior is out there giving speeches on what is to be done, Sandy is out there taking action, getting her hands dirty fighting the good fight!! [/QUOTE]
