Election

[Yard Dog]

I was told that there will be 3 slates running in the next election. I know there is 1 running against the current group. Does anyone know any truth in that?

Palmer is the only candidate I'm aware of that has name recognition from being on the right side of the main issues as the Trump economic meltdown continues.

[CalTeamster]

Yup, Palmer's shown a lot of guts from the outset. What he said way back about the UPS agreement turned out to be solid.

[Faust]

Very doubtful there will be two opposition slates.

[Yard Dog]

I found it hard to believe there would be 3 running. It will be interesting to see who they members will support this next election.

[The Direct Line]

I was told that there is one opposition slate coming together. With his recent actions, the general president is going after those "Trump Teamsters". He wants that base.

If you are the General President of the IBT it is your responsibility and duty to protect and advance the union...FIRST AND FOREMOST! If SOB agrees with conservative economic politics...that's understandable. However, outright support for someone that is trying to destroy your union? That should disqualify O'Brien!

[Yard Dog]

The union has been divided because of all the political crap. It's being destroyed within. Next week they will be sucking money off of everyone at the Fake Unity Conference in Vegas. They're not getting one dime from me.

This is where Seanie Boy is exposed as a fraud. Any serious trade unionist adheres to and understands the aforementioned statement. Instead of educating the members on the factual substance of Rumps presidency and the impact of his actions he panders to those misinformed members for his own electoral benefit. Plain and simple this manchild is in it for himself. Sometimes you have to tell people what they don't want to hear despite what you might fear as a repercussion. It's called being a leader, something O'Brien knows nothing about.
