Team486.you used the wrong phone number.you needed the donation hotline phone number; P

I guess you're the type to let everyone else fight your battles or is it your a lover not a fighter. either way I guess the fight does not start with you

That's a good a good idea to storm the hall but here is another one bring bail money dawes and flynn will have you locked up with the quickness and banned from ever showing your face at the hall again any time soon. I think team486 is right on the money.

Tutone I will never understand you have "cell block 309" in your name complaining about your working conditions but you don't want to fight for them. There is away to fight without throwing a punch but "fist clenched" meant at the ready and not afraid to use them.

Go for it pain in the *** , let me know when you have 50 or 100 guys with pitchforks in hand, and what time we meet at the hall and im there.

Honestly, all you can really do now is to try and vote the trash out but with the way these stank locals have setup their by-laws its become a job for life.
As far as the fight or throwing a fist, not in a dozen lifetimes for these scoundrels they call members. In the last 15 or so years 80% will stab you in the back for an extra 10 minutes of overtime, blow you into the bozzman to try to get you fired, complain to the steward about a wrong and then go in behind your back and make a deal on their own, buy lunch for the dispatcher for a better trip, screw that 80% and even thinking of going out on a limb for them.
I am so freaking glad to be out of that rat race! I just feel bad for the 20% that try to do it the rightway, its just a losing battle, especially with the lack of any leadership.

PS: 80% may be a "bit" high but the a$$kissers make things so much worse for everyone else!

Stump is our best steward, Chuck earned his retirement, so leave him alone. Dawson is management, and with the last shake up, do you really think any thing good for us will come from him.

Could always ask leech, when he comes up for air after he's done under dawson's desk.

Same at my barn. Senior guys gone. Junior members are complainers AND scared. They refuse to file a grievance. I told those who will listen, bury them in paperwork. Every time management violates the contract, file a grievance! If stewards and business agents refuse to get involved, talk to some one higher in command and complain. WE ONLY HAVE POWER IN NUMBERS! Period. The merger of Yellow/Roadway was planned long ago. Our 15% wage cut is funding all those discipline letters, damage claims, non production, "random" drug tests, etc. The longer we Teamsters fight/bicker amongst ourselves, the stronger management becomes.

Hmm did you ever consider that the 20% minority were the ones doing it wrong?
