[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 882933, member: 17969"] 804, NO disrespect intended. Sandy Pope may be a black belt, and she may drive a truck in a mans world, but that doesnt qualify her to be general president. Whether or not she could kick my ass hardly makes a case or a vote. She is a nice lady, but it does not make for a reason to vote for her. I am criticizing her strategy, because my future is at stake. If she was a true leader, she would have assembled a slate of officers to run as a team and allow us to view her judgement, but she chose to run by herself and leave the rest of us in the dark, until she appoints Tom L to something in the future. Thats a risk the membership cannot take. I am well aware of brother Careys career and performance, but i am also aware of the crimes that were committed before his expulsion. Whether or not the charges stuck does not erase the expulsion from the Teamsters. Before "WE" give brother Carey any credit for the UPS strike, youd better thank the 335 thousand brothers and sisters who walked the picket line for 50 bucks a week and thank THEM first. At the end of the day, brother Careys contract with UPS was a failure for part time as the jobs promised to be created never materialized and had to be renegotiated in 2002. I have PERSONALLY dealt with brother Carey in our contract of 1992 as i sat on two committees then, and again in 1997, sitting on the article 37 and article 18 committees. Brother Carey made some serious criminal mistakes that cost him his reputation and his career. Brother Carey (RIP) will always be remembered but its time to let his legacy go. This is a different world, and TDU isnt the way to go. UPS has become more aggressive with its employees in the everyday operation of the business, and its going to take people who are well versed on the everyday operation and changes and Sandy Pope isnt going to figure all that out in a couple of months in a few meetings. Her truck driving experience may make her a tough person, but sitting in the cab of a tractor and sitting across the desk from UPS are two different worlds. As I said many times, I have my disagreements with brother Hoffa and K. Hall, but at the end of the day, these guys will bring the best forward to negotiate our next contract. Out west, the support for brother Hoffa is unbeatable. Sandy Pope doesnt have a chance in the west. In order to win the GP, you must carry the west. Its a simple fact. Would I like Brother Hoffa and Hall to do a better job? Absolutely, without a doubt. I think "they" are getting the message. Sandy Pope may be a local favorite, but this time around, its just not in the cards. Next time, maybe she will put an entire slate together and show her cards, rather than hide them in her purse. Its those "hidden" cards that disqualify her. Peace brother. [/QUOTE]
