About 5 years ago a guy transferred from DAL to IND in the city. He screamed every day that we are too "company minded", and moved back to DAL about 3 years ago. He worked the yard every day. He'd deliberately hide trailers to delay yard moves. He'd follow hookers and pull pins, etc, etc.....This didn't just hurt the company, it put Teamster's and other's lives at risk.... I wonder if he's one of the fired? I'm betting he is, if anyone is.
In my opinion only, it's one thing to be Teamster oriented-- it's another thing altogether to deliberately hurt the company that puts food on your table. I beleive the first responsibility of Teamsters is to give a "good day's work for a good day's pay". I've been with too many compainies that closed to shut this one down too......and on purpose no less!
