TeamsterLink Poll

Why was Teamster International Vice President John Palmer relieved of all duties in the Organizing Department?

[Magruder]

Is this true how do they fire an elected Vice President?

They removed him from all assignments for having an opinion on the horrible direction O'Brien is taking the union.

John Palmer was TDU's champion and one of five that got them the seat at the table. WTF. TDU must really be pissed about it, that is if this is true.

David Levin could give two fucks. All he cares is about collecting $30k to run the UPS campaign. I really hope O'Brien dumps them after this contract is done.

Ken Paff is sad, but he is gutless.

But make no mistake, John Palmer who was promised the National Organizing job left TDU before he was shut down by O'Brien.

John Palmer never ran a Local he has 0 leadership experience. Sitting at home is the best place for him.

TDU sucks!

Taibi is a complete buffoon.

Willie Ford like Juan Campos are not happy with O'Brien.

Sasquatch you must know nothing about organizing if you think there is no leadership qualities needed.

Every answer in the poll is correct, that's why they sent him home. Although I think it was more about the sneakers than anything else, LOL

[Faust]

So why didn't they hire any TDU/Reformers from California?

The Teamsters, because of the sort of patronage system that always seems to develop, is plagued by followers and kiss asses. But its those who have gone against the grain that have made the union great. I have great respect for principled people like John Palmer who have the guts to stand up even when they isolate him on the board or go so far as to relieve him of his salaried position. What kind of a petty person would take this action in what is supposed to be a democratic union? Really how low will they go?

This is a big step backward for the union.
