Why for the last 20 years have our leaders not been aggressively organizing non-union freight companies? Did they drop the ball?

Mr Hoffa, Sr. had the "right stuff" to build our once great Union many years ago, but now, all we have left in our Union is a bunch of way over paid dopes that aint got a clue on how to organize the non union barns with a decent NMFA contract. The unionized freight sector is quickly coming to an end and I believe we are all headed for the history books. I am and will stay a Teamster to the end, but it does not look like this ship is going to stay afloat. As far as Hoffa Jr, Tyson and the other IBT failures go, our decline started over 10 years ago. The current top Union fat cats could not even organize a bunch of street girls, never mind, a non union freight carrier. :TR10driving03:
 
so sad but true...ibt has been tarnished by the idiots in charge who havent got a clue and are more worried about stuffing their wallets and forgetting about the real working men and woman who are the members their supposed to take care of not themselves

Because the bigshots will continue to get their pay and bennies and it's a lot easier to organize the local DPW or Police dispatchers etc.........
