Will TDU denounce SOB on Right to Work, Labor Sec., Silence on NLRB, OSHA?

[X-TDUer]

I think most people here will say the answer is no.

This is an opportunity for TDU to show the kind of independence that once made the organization creible. Can you imagine how they'd be going after Hoffa or any other GP for half as much? Yet TDU is unable to criticize SOB in the slightest, for anything. Why?

???????????????????????????????????????????????

Edit: That was supposed to be a bunch of laughing emojis, but it came out as question marks.

Anyone who has known Paff over the years knows his primary function and goal was to keep his woefully underfunded organization alive. That included the taking of grants from corporations and covid dollars from the federal government and the American taxpayer. You could easily argue that this was understandable given the noble cause and stances TDU has taken over the years.

It's easy to see now given the obvious malfeasance and incompetence of the IBT, that Paff is who he always was and never valued the ideals his group espoused over the dollars needed to fund it's largely white male non Teamster staff. They defended the racist discharge of 13 organizers of color by attacking them on the TDU page on (drum roll please) Martin Luther King day. They sold UPSers a contract that is now resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. The dollars are now rolling in from O'Brien supporting locals for their convention. All things considered still pretty woeful for any organization of respectability. Whoring yourself out for dollars shows the moral depravity of Ken Paff and his sidekick Levin. They have shown themselves to be nothing more than TURDS.

Great question, as they say the proof is in the pudding. I hope they wake up but given that they (the TDU membership) keep electing the bought and sold dynamic duo of Paff and Levin it's not likely. TDU is done as a reform movement.

it represents an opportunity to be heard and to make a difference.

Own Table. Nickjamesups is correct when he pointed out how TDU use to expose and provide the truth about our union. Their reporting was a great source of independent, reliable news motivating Teamster members and Officers to fight for change. And change they made!



BTW who has the TDU seat at the OZ table?

[WTF891]

There's this from a guy named Sean O'Brien. We all change our view points right?

Leadership at TDU may be ok with the teamsters union being drug into the Trump world by O'Brien, but what about TDU members? What about the people that come to convention and contribute, are they likely Trump supporters? Its time they took a look at the role TDU is playing as O'Brien continues to support Trump regardless of his policies.

Yes, they should kick the phony assclowns Paff and Levin to the curb. They are democratic right?
