Do you hold a union card?
You nailed it snark. sure don't hear much about this I'm just wondering, has our president for life ever spoken out against this? Not that it matters, Mr talk tough and settle has bigger fish to fry.Your anger should be pointed toward Fitzsimmons for allowing under the table "loans" from the pension fund which caused the Justice Dept to force the fund to turn over control to a Bankster Investment Fund. When the stock picks went up they kept the winner for themselves but when the stock pick tanked the Banksters gave the trade to the Pension Fund, the hit the Fund with a trading fee as well.
You say my anger should be pointed at Fitzsimmons? What about the Congressional Oversight Committees created in 1972 (ERISA) to watch for more corruption and theft from the CSPF after the mob days of using it for a slush fund? What about another separate Congressional Oversight Committee created in 1989 to watch the IBT leadership for yet more corruption and mob influence? Neither of these worthless oversight committees "watched" or stopped anything. There were appointees from both the Repubs and the Dems on these committees for 42 and 27 years respectively. (The the first, ERISA was abolished by a Democrat controlled Senate and Obama in 2014 and the last one was recently dissolved by a NYC Federal Judge because Hoffa's cronies convinced that judge that the Teamsters were now as "pure as the driven snow" - no more corruption.) I don't know which rock that Federal judge has been living under. I smell another payoff. After Fitz (thief of CSPF funds), where were Roy Williams (sent to prison), Jackie Presser, (thief of CSPF money and FBI snitch), and finally Hoffa, Jr.,(current thief), and the government "watchers" when the Fund was being drained? A couple of interim Teamster presidents were appointed as "chair warmers" and also did nothing. Nobody did anything to stop the sacking of the Fund. They were all (some still are) getting a piece of the action. Nyhan and Hoffa are still there in spite the Fund losing $2 B in 2002 and another $10 B in 2008-09. What does it take to be fired?. Hoffa just keep getting re-elected and Nyhan just keeps on blaming others for the Fund tanking while he is stuffing his pockets. Both are getting richer & richer with members' money (not to mention a few hundred other bloodsuckers in the IBT and CSPS).....and what do the members do? Re-elect Hoffa. The gravy train continues, but NOT for the members or the retirees.Your anger should be pointed toward Fitzsimmons for allowing under the table "loans" from the pension fund which caused the Justice Dept to force the fund to turn over control to a Bankster Investment Fund.

Hey Skull heard Ryan hit the road! Went Xpo. Also heard that most of the TM's up in your region are working under a 30 day corrective action. Can't imagine any terminal operating worst than ours.In MI there has been a tradition of allowing unlimited 8 and outs on the opening weekend of deer hunting, the intention being that you'd rather have guys for 8 hours than have them call in sick. This year Ryan decided to start a new tradition that did away with that. Not sure how many called off, but Ryan did say there is a real "lack of integrity" in the bargaining unit. In keeping with the spirit of things, dave the night ops idiot savant, told the part timers at their pre shift meeting that "if you aren't going to stay until close don't bother coming in on monday".
In the interest of fairness, I will say that Ryan did buy food for the guys that showed up. at 900pm jimmy johns did deliver 2 12 packs of half sammies. plenty of food for 40 or so hungry girls and boys. What a guy. Our next area director.
