The other Board members have been pressuring Palmer to resign his Vice Presidents position since he publicly urged a vote no on the UPS contract. This pressure included the TDU contingent, claiming it was disloyal. Guess John had other plans.

[JZuraw]

Who is in "the TDU contingent"? Only Taibi, Ford and Palmer have TDU cred. Are you saying that Taibi and Ford have called for Palmer to resign from the GEB?

[percap2high]

That's what I was told by someone in the room.

[Gimme_Danger]

Has he negotiated any contracts? Has he run a Local, Joint Council or any organization? What is he currently assigned (or qualified) to do besides attend quarterly board meetings? When was the last organizing drive he was successful at?

John Palmer has been solid on part-time issues and has a following at UPS. He's spoken out while other so-called leaders have been silent.

I don't know anything about Palmer, but if he isn't qualified, then hopefully there will be someone that is that will run against O'Lyin and the dickstepper that can win.

The rumor out here is that the dick Stepper is under investigation with the FBI for possible Rico with several biker gangs that provide security for her. To be continued.

Palmer just recently turned 65.

So, I respect a guy who calls his shot when no one else does. I also believe whenever this happens people attack the messenger. I for one am glad the conversation has started regardless of who runs or where they run the OZholes must be removed. They rode in on a trojan horse called reform, they nuetered the TDU dog. Let's hope someone puts together a slate of reformers that are not the same old shit in a different sack. I think most of us can see these clowns need to go.

[JZuraw]

Palmer is an outstanding Union leader.

There's nothing more tedious in Teamster politics than the bogus smears that get hurled whenever someone calls out incumbent officers.
