My understanding is that over 50% do not pay dues.

She's in a right to work state. Arizona doesn't like Unions

I'm not excusing this whatsoever but I do mean to show that there is a reason this is happening. One that would likely still be true even if O'Brien wasn't a pseudo-reformer.

What you have to understand is that at this point, the reform movement's bench is not very deep. 25 long years of struggling against Hoffa really took all the wind out of the sails, there's been an overall drying up of rank and file activity since '97.

This was the whole reason TDU gave into running him with Zuckerman: they felt they didn't have enough not just to put them over the top, but also to smoothly run the actual union alone. They felt it was better to be "in" and at least have a shot at influencing the Old Guard than to be completely shut out again.

Of course this is always an issue of "who's using who", and I would argue that they're the ones being used. But the point is that this would probably be happening even if Sean was who he says he is.

Don't forget that in 2011 Zuckerman ran on the Fred Gegare slate.

It's a picture of two great teamsters who both take alot of crap from people who are jealous or jockying for position. Ask the members of their locals about them. Their the members that overwhelmingly reelected them over and over.

Hey BIG FOOT what did he get charged with, I'll bet talking to another teamster. I'll bet you believe the Government should be able to tell us who to talk to. Pathetic

So glad you posted this Big Feet, now everyone can see how petty this BS is. They literally nailed him for talking to other Teamsters because the Gov wants to tell us who we can talk to. Its about getting rid of anyone with the balls to challenge which leaves you pretty safe.

Wasn't Rome Aloise the chair of the Costco contract before being expelled for being a crooked piece of excrement?

You know that on the final year of the Costco deal Rome cut, members only received $1.75 in pension per hour thanx to the sweetheart deal Rome negotiated?

At Local 70 UPSers currently receive the highest pension contribution in the nation at UPS of $18.10 per hour.

Even that incompetent moron Sean O'Brien who gets the lowest pension contribution for UPSers in the nation in his New England Supplement is at $12.

Please show me Rome's highest pension contribution.

[1speed]

Right . And you've negotiated how much in Pension? Thought so.

[Faust]

Azzhole, how can a "great" Teamster think $1.75 is a good pension?

If I was a betting man I would assume you are either Ray Torres or Johnny Gallegos. I don't think there are greater morons and Rome kiss asses in the entire IBT.

[1speed]

Look at the package. At the time $7.00 p/hr better than the best UFCW contract in the country. Low $1.75 WCTP but with 10 years past service credit to show them how much better the union pension is than their profit share (worth $8 p/h) and 401k, all of which they kept. No concessions. Look at the facts not the political BS.

[UPS909Strong]

The Feds wanted Rome including some in the IBT that wanted him out. Rome did so much for so many of our Sisters and Brothers. But if you run a foul of the rules, they will catch up to you
