The only "nerve" little Stoney hit, was making it personal. Yes, by stating that he was addressing "my lies", he's calling me a liar. Not "mistaken" or wrong, but a liar. So your buddy is the one "name calling". When someone makes it personal, rather than run to the moderator, I take it up with the person. No different than if it were a red shirt, opps manager, center manager or another driver. I don't run to HR first.
Now back on topic. Stoney and johndeere4020 both contend that the Teamsters "go after" (target) companies with out the employees asking and showing significant support My personal experience says otherwise. In the current world we live in, media reports provide little "proof" as reporters don't dig for the facts. Evidence of this is clear anytime there in an article about a topic we already know the facts on. They simply don't usually get the details right.
Until I see some evidence of Teamsters targeting a company, I will not consider that myth to be debunked. Until significant numbers are already secure, they've been less than helpful. No Teamster tent out front, no Teamster Truck, Not even a day laborer handing out flyers. Even after being approached they don't "target" until the numbers are there and petition filed. FACT.
